<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:

<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>

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>

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>

It could never be consumed in a natural form from the sources I have found on it.</p>
