Grapeseed oil for baking...?

[RhondaH]

I use olive oil for all other cooking etc, but was wondering if any of you have used grapeseed oil for baking and how things turned out. Thank you.

Grape seed is high in omega six -linoleic acid if that is on your adgenda.

Fatty Acid Composition of Grape Seed Oil from Native American and Hybrid

The grape seed oil concentration of native American and hybrid grapes ranged from 13 to 18.4% with a weighted mean of 14.72%. These concentrations were found to be in the same range as the seed oil content in Vitis vinifera grapes. The predominant fatty acid was linoleic acid, which represented over 71.5% of the fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of the grape seed oil is relatively constant in composition, regardless of species or variety.

I was unaware. I thought I had read somewhere on here that it was good, but i was mistaken.

I like to use plain canola oil in baking..it is rich in oleic acid like olive but without the after taste..fyi...makes yummy brownies..smile...

for HER2 types??
Gina, you may have the long answer.

I like to use it occasionally for salad dressing or sauteing on top of the stove.

I get the "Napa Valley Natural" brand at our local organic co-op.
Thought I was doing hubby and myself a favor!
