Grape seed oil comes from wine grape seeds. A high smoke point around 420°F makes it suitable for stir-frying, sautéing, and roasting. Its light, neutral taste works in salad dressings, marinades, and baking without overwhelming other flavors. Substitute this oil for vegetable or canola oil in most recipes.
Vitamin E and polyunsaturated fats are present, though many oils contain them. Since the oil is calorie-dense, use it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
