Dietary fat, in moderation, is needed to provide energy and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Increasingly, it has become apparent that the type of fat in the diet is important. Certain fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 fats are essential for good nutrition and must be consumed as part of a healthy diet. Canola oil provides more of the healthy fats than any other popular common cooking and salad oils. With its low saturated fat level, excellent balance of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, and its versatility and light taste, canola oil has found an important place in the world's kitchens, food products and restaurants.

There is a global need for healthier foods. With worldwide issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, a simple change like using a healthier cooking oil can make a significant difference.

Canola oil is heart-healthy. It has the least saturated fat of any common cooking oil. In fact, it has less than half the saturated fat of olive or soybean oil. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized a qualified health claim for canola oil's ability to reduce the risk of heart disease when used in place of saturated fat.

Canola oil is ideal for any type of cooking. From salad dressings to sautéing, canola oil's neutral taste and light texture make it a great match for just about everything. Furthermore, its high heat tolerance means you can use canola oil for anything from baking to stir-frying to deep-frying or grilling.

Canola oil is used around the world. In fact, it is the number one vegetable oil in Canada and Japan, while number two in Mexico and the United States. Overall, it is the third most consumed vegetable oil in the world.
