We are offering canola oil. It is very low in saturated fats as compared to other cooking oils. Canola oil has 7% saturated fat, compared to 12% for sunflower oil, 13% for corn oil, and 15% for olive oil. It contains linoleic (omega-6) and α-linoleic acid (omega-3) essential fatty acids at 2:1 making it as one of the healthiest cooking oils at a ratio even better than olive oil. The us food and drug administration (fda) authorized a qualified health claim for canola oil's ability to reduce the risk of heart disease when used in place of saturated fat.

· it is especially rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids (mufa) which constitutes about 61% of total fats that help to lower ldl or "bad cholesterol" and increase hdl or "good cholesterol" in the blood.
