Expeller pressed oils are arguably the best for human consumption. Canola oil is a rich source of vitamin E, an important dietary antioxidant. Canola oil also contains the lowest amount of total saturated fat of commonly consumed vegetable oils and is second only to olive oil in the levels of the important monounsaturated fat, oleic acid.

Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil is a high quality refined organic coconut oil. This oil is processed the “old” way by what is called “physical refining.” The modern way of processing coconut oil is by chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive. Tropical Traditions Expeller Pressed Coconut Oil DOES NOT use chemicals or solvent extracts.

Expeller Pressed' refers to the way the oil has been extracted from the seeds. Oil can be extracted via two methods: mechanical and solvent extraction. Expeller pressed oil uses only mechanical extraction, in which seeds are crushed to release their oil. Mechanical pressing removes about 2/3 of the seed's oil. Most edible oils on the market are then put through a solvent extraction process to remove the remainder of the oil. Solvents used are harsh chemicals such as Hexane.

Canola oil is a vegetable oil produced from the rapeseed. It contains monounsaturated fats which are less likely to cause heart disease.

There is a lot of confusion about canola oil's safety. While the Internet can be a great source of information, many rumors and urban legends have circulated on web sites and been passed along in e-mails. Urban legends usually warn of dire consequences from something perfectly innocent; they often relate a story about someone who had such a terrible experience with something, yet that person almost always remains anonymous.

Canola oil is one of the richest sources of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. The #1 cause of death in the U.S. is heart disease. To reduce the risk of heart disease, the American Heart Association recommends reducing saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, and making dietary choices that lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. The American Heart Association recommends including canola oil as part of a heart healthy diet.

Unlike other vegetable oils, absolutely no solvent is used in the palm oil extraction process. The extraction process ? known as expeller press or cold press - is similar to the one used to extract virgin olive oil. The process basically involves squeezing the oil from the palm fruitlets and carefully washing the extracted oil to remove non-oil matters such as fibers without loosing the desirable phytonutrients such as carotenes and Vitamin E.

We use canola oil because it has excellent health properties and the best taste profile. We have spent over three years studying canola oil as it relates to our product. Our findings found of all vegetable oils canola has the best fatty acid profile for human consumption. It contains the lowest level of saturated fat of any oil; it is a rich source of essential fatty acids, namely Omega-3 fatty acid; monounsaturated fatty acids; and has no cholesterol.

Soybean oil is the food industry's predominant vegetable oil, because of its favorable taste profile, food formulation flexibility and global supply, with more than 18 billion pounds consumed annually. That's why Vistive low-linolenic soybeans could establish a new standard for the performance of food-grade oils.

Although it may be possible to have an allergy to proteins found in the plant from which canola oil is extracted, in general, it is unlikely to have a true allergic reaction to canola oil. This is due to several factors. First, most plant oils are poor allergens because they contain very little protein. It is not the oil but the protein (which is usually considered an impurity of manufacturing) that causes an allergic reaction.

So glad you asked. Well, for one thing MacNut oil certainly tastes better. But more importantly, the fatty acid profile is much more healthful. The amount of beneficial monounsaturated fats in canola averages around 60% - a far cry from the 85% in MacNut Oil. In addition, canola oil has 23% of the type of omega-6 fatty acids that can lead to inflammatory conditions such as heart disease and arthritis.
