100% Grape Seed Oil

Grape seed oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of grapes. The seeds are typically a byproduct of winemaking. After the seeds are dried, they are crushed, and the oil is extracted using mechanical pressing or solvent extraction.

Grape seed oil is often used as a cooking oil due to its high smoke point, making it suitable for frying and sautéing. Manufacturers also add it to salad dressings, marinades, and baked goods for its neutral flavor and light texture. It can also be used in cosmetics and skincare products.

Grape seed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. While research suggests potential benefits from compounds found in grape seeds, such as antioxidants, the health effects of consuming grape seed oil at typical dietary levels are not fully established. JECFA has evaluated grape seed oil and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
