Canola oil is generally considered a âhealthyâ oil because it is very low in saturated fat (7%). Like olive oil it is high in monounsaturated fat (63%). In addition, canola oil contains significant amounts of phytosterols (about 0.9% by weight) that reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the body.
Because of its light flavor, high smoke point, and smooth texture, canola oil is one of the most versatile cooking oils. You can use it in a number of dishes and cooking methods, like: 1  As a cooking oil for sauteing, stir-frying, grilling, and baking. 2  In salad dressings, sauces, and marinades.
