Andy Dunn 2012-10-11T16:59:07Z 2012-10-13T03:42:43Z <p>So I've been using a locally made rape seed oil for frying in. Its cold pressed and as far as I can tell there are no chemicals involved in its manufacture. All the local chefs swear by it, and its got quite a big following here.</p> <p>This is the website: <a href="http://www.donegalrapeseedoilco.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.donegalrapeseedoilco.com/</a></p> <p>I'd be interested to hear your opinions on how it might compare in terms of omega-3 and otherwise to things like coconut oil, or organic beef tallow.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155029#155029 Answer by wheelhouse for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? wheelhouse 2012-10-11T17:18:35Z 2012-10-11T17:18:35Z <p>I'm pretty sure rapeseed is another name for canola.</p> <p>Go ahead and scroll down to the third question in this link, for Mark's thoughts on the matter.</p> <p><a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dear-mark-mct-oil-camelina-oil-and-fancy-canola-oil/#axzz29136nArn" rel="nofollow">http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dear-mark-mct-oil-camelina-oil-and-fancy-canola-oil/#axzz29136nArn</a></p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155030#155030 Answer by bj for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? bj 2012-10-11T17:21:27Z 2012-10-11T17:21:27Z <p>Rapeseed oil is basically another name for Canola oil (which was originally a registered trademark). </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155031#155031 Answer by PhysiqueRescue for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? PhysiqueRescue 2012-10-11T17:23:31Z 2012-10-11T17:23:31Z <p>Rapeseed (or canola oil) is one to avoid. You are on the right track with the coconut and (grass-fed) beef tallow. It's MUCH better for you nutritionally (not to mention it tastes much better too!).</p> <p>Matt<br> <a href="http://physiquerescue.com" rel="nofollow">PhysiqueRescue.com</a> </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155032#155032 Answer by Matt for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? Matt 2012-10-11T17:27:52Z 2012-10-11T17:27:52Z <p>Canola isn't the worst. Although it's high in MUFA (yay), it's also high in PUFA (nay). The PUFA however is approximately 2:1 O6:O3 (yay). </p> <p>Use it sparingly for non-cooking applications and where you don't want olive oil flavor (mayonnaise perhaps?)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155034#155034 Answer by Andrew F. for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? Andrew F. 2012-10-11T17:30:26Z 2012-10-11T17:30:26Z <p>It's a highly chemically &amp; mechanically processed and is very <strong>far from natural</strong> so it gets a <strong>big fat nay</strong> from me. It could never be consumed in a natural form from the sources I have found on it.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/155019/rape-seed-oil-yay-or-nay/155445#155445 Answer by borofergie for Rape Seed Oil, yay or nay ? borofergie 2012-10-13T03:23:49Z 2012-10-13T03:42:43Z <p>Are seed oils Paleo?
