Watkins Grapeseed Oils

All-Natural Original Grapeseed Oil for Dipping and Cooking

Grapeseed oil is enjoying a rapid rise in popularity
today. Although this oil is relatively new to
our market, it has been produced and enjoyed in
Europe for many years—sold not only as a cooking
oil, but also in French pharmacies as a remedy
for high cholesterol. In fact, grapeseed oil is
one of the only foods shown to not only lower
LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, but also increase HDL
(“good”) cholesterol—a distinct advantage over
other oils. This wonderful oil is now available
from Watkins for the home cook concerned with
good health and great taste.
Our grapeseed oil is available unflavored or
with natural flavoring oils, and enhances your
favorite cooking:

Original as a wonderfully light, neutral flavor
that complements any cuisine.

• Citrus & Cilantro is just right for Southwestern,
Caribbean, and contemporary Asian cooking.

•Garlic & Parsley is perfect for Mediterranean and
other European-style cooking.


Delicious: Unlike canola oil, grapeseed oil has a
wonderful, light flavor; unlike olive oil, its light,
neutral flavor won’t clash with certain foods.
Versatile: Excellent as a dipping oil, on pastas,
for sautéing and stir-frying; as the primary oil in
salad dressings and marinades; anywhere you
would use cooking oil.
Low in saturated fat: At 8%, it has only half the
saturated fat of olive oil; the lowest of all oils
except canola.
Highest in polyunsaturated fat: (72%), all as
linoleic acid (Omega-6), which has the greatest
effect in raising HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering
LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides
(fat carried in the blood).
Environmentally friendly: Pressed from grape
seeds in Italy after wine production, it requires
no new farmland or water to produce.
Contains antioxidants: Contains vitamin E,
and a group of bioflavonoids known as proanthocyanadins,
some of the most powerful known
natural antioxidants.
High flashpoint: Highest flashpoint of all cooking
oils; less smoke, less danger of burning.
