Grape seed oil is a wonderful byproduct of wine making.  Seeds are pressed extracting their oil and then bottled and sold in various health stores and grocery stores.

Professional chefs and even those who like to cook like grape seed oil because of its neutral taste, making it a popular salad dressing.  Chefs also favor grape seed oil over olive oil when it comes to cooking food in very high temperature as it has a higher smoke point.

Grape seed oil is known to reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) a.k.a. bad cholesterol and raise HDL (high-density lipoprotein), the good cholesterol which keeps our arteries clear from blockages.  It is also high in anti-oxidants and Vitamin E.

When choosing grape seed oil, look for one that has no preservatives. Grape seed oil is a very good and guilt free alternative when you want to enjoy your favorite fried food.
