Retail Product of the Month  Grape-seed Oil
$20
Grape-seed oil is one of the most stable cooking oils known. Due to it's high smoke point of 420°F, grape-seed oil will not splatter, smoke or burn like other common cooking oils. Whether as a salad dressing, for baking, grilling, or frying, grape-seed oil retains the intended, original flavor of foods. It imparts no after-taste, permitting the full flavor of the dish to be appreciated. As a great gourmet alternative to olive oil, grape-seed oil serves to enhance natural flavors & reveals a subtle pleasant buttery flavor. Grape-seed oil also has many health benefits because it is high in antioxidants, contains vitamin E, and is a polyunsaturated oil that is rich in linoleic acid. One tablespoon of grape-seed oil provides nearly the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin E
