Uses for cold-pressed rapeseed oil
Rapeseed oil is one of the most popular edible oils in central Europe along with sunflower oil and olive oil. Its unobtrusive, finely acerbic taste harmonizes with almost any meals from steamed vegetables to fresh salads and sweet baked goods. Due to its fine flavor rapeseed oil goes ideally with a number or fruity vinegars.
A further advantage of rapeseed oil is its enormous heat resistance. That is why this oil is predestined for frying and boiling. Rapeseed oil is also a popular ingredient as a substitute for butter or margarine in cakes.
