Description
Refined Rapeseed Oil is a vegetable oil and is expelled pressed from rapeseed.It is a vegetable oil extracted from seeds of rape plant. Monounsaturated fatty acids of oleic series dominate and a small amount of monounsaturated acids is contained in the oil composition, that is why the oxidation is decreased and the shelf life is increased. Oil value is connected with the balanced combination of saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. It is a source of essential fatty acids (omega 3-6), contains the smallest amount of saturated fatty acids in comparison with the other vegetable oils and a large number of vitamin E.
Rapeseed oil comes in two distinct forms. Industrial rapeseed oil, which isn’t edible, is used for purposes like lubricating engines and making lipstick. It contains high amounts of erucic acid1, a substance known to be toxic to humans.
The rapeseed plant usually blooms in the summer and is famous for its golden-yellow flowers.
Our rapeseed oil refined organic comes exclusively from farmers known to us and traceable to us, with whom we have been working together for a long time, also through contract cultivation. Our own agricultural engineers accompany the farmer and are personally on site in the fields, thus ensuring traceability of the supply chain from sowing in the field to oil production.
