Okay for a good quality 500ml Rapeseed oil you are looking at about £2 to £5 pounds. Compared to a similar sized Olive oil that is about £2.50 to £5 so not much difference in price, but we feel that Rapeseed oil is more expensive and I don’t know why that is?
However the health benefits in are quite high. Rapeseed oil has the lowest saturated fat content cooking oils. Olive oil has twice the saturated fat (14%) and Rapeseed oil is far richer in Vitamin E, Omega-3 and 6 other fatty acids. It has a higher smoking point than which means its not as toxic at very high temperatures. so its an all round good product.
