When it comes to choosing the right cooking oil, health-conscious food lovers are increasingly turning to cold pressed rapeseed oil and for good reason.
At Borderfields, we believe in keeping things simple, natural, and nutritious. But is cold pressed rapeseed oil really good for you?
Let’s explore the facts….
What is cold pressed rapeseed oil?
Cold pressed rapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant using a mechanical pressing method without the use of heat or chemicals. This gentle process preserves the oil’s natural nutrients, flavour, and vibrant golden colour.
Borderfields cold pressed rapeseed oil is grown and bottled right here in the UK, ensuring quality, traceability, and sustainability from field to fork.
Packed with health benefits
Cold pressed rapeseed oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils available.
Here’s why:
- Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids: These essential fats support heart health, brain function, and inflammation control. In fact, rapeseed oil contains ten times more omega-3 than olive oil.
- High in vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect your cells from oxidative stress and supports healthy skin and eyes.
- Low in saturated fat: With less saturated fat than most other cooking oils (including olive oil), cold pressed rapeseed oil contributes to maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
- Ideal Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio: A balanced ratio of these fatty acids is key to a healthy diet, and rapeseed oil hits the sweet spot.
