What is Grape seed oil?
Grape seed oil is pressed from the small seeds left after grapes are used for wine or juice. It is a clear, pale oil with a mild flavour, so it adds little of its own taste to food. In kitchens around the world, it works well in salad dressings, marinades and everyday cooking.
Its high smoke point makes it useful for sautéing and frying, while its light taste suits delicate ingredients as well as more boldly seasoned dishes. The oil is almost entirely fat and is rich in polyunsaturated fats, so a modest pour is usually enough. Try it in a vinaigrette or use it when you want a neutral-tasting oil for cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions About Grape seed oil
Is grape seed oil good for you?
It can be a useful cooking oil because it is rich in polyunsaturated fats, but it is still a concentrated source of energy. It is not automatically healthier than olive oil; the best choice depends partly on how you use it.
Can you cook with grape seed oil?
Yes. Its light flavor suits sautéing and other everyday cooking, and its high smoke point makes it useful when cooking at higher heat. Avoid heating it until it smokes.
Can grape seed oil be used for deep frying?
Yes, grape seed oil’s high smoke point makes it suitable for deep frying. Keep the temperature controlled and discard the oil if it becomes dark, smells unpleasant, or starts smoking readily.
What does grape seed oil taste like?
Grape seed oil has a mild, fairly neutral flavor; it does not taste like grape juice or wine. That makes it handy when you want an oil that will not overpower the other ingredients.
Can you use grape seed oil in salad dressing?
Yes, its mild flavor works well in vinaigrettes and other salad dressings. Combine it with vinegar or citrus juice, then add herbs or mustard for a dressing that lets those flavors come through.
Is grape seed oil made from wine grapes?
Often, yes: the oil is extracted from grape seeds left over after making wine or grape juice. It is made from the seeds, not the fruit’s juice, so it does not have a sweet grape flavor.
Is cold-pressed grape seed oil different from refined grape seed oil?
Yes. Cold-pressed oil is extracted with little or no added heat, while refined oil undergoes further processing. Refined grape seed oil tends to have a more neutral flavor; the exact characteristics vary by product.
Does grape seed oil need to be refrigerated?
No, refrigeration is not necessary for most grape seed oil. Store it tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the stove and sunlight; discard it if it develops a stale or rancid smell.
Can grape seed oil replace vegetable oil in baking?
Yes, grape seed oil can usually replace neutral vegetable oil in cakes, muffins, and similar recipes. Its mild taste works well, but it is not a direct substitute for solid butter when a recipe relies on butter’s texture.
Is grape seed oil high in omega-6?
Yes, grape seed oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. Use it as one of several cooking oils rather than relying on it as your only source of added fat.
