Rapeseed oil has the lowest saturated fat of any culinary oil and less than half that of olive oil. In recent years mediterranean produced olive oil has tended to overtake sunflower and vegetable oils in popularity and has been perceived as a healthy alternative. However rapeseed oil in fact naturally replicates a diet of low saturated fat found in olive oil and good essential omega oils normally obtained from fish.The health conscious french nation also discovered rapeseed oil generations ago and the product is commonplace on supermarket shelves in that country.
