Grapeseed Oil Substitutes
The best oil grapeseed oil substitutes are olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil, which have a similar high smoking point.
Here are the list of grapeseed oil substitutes :
Olive Oil
This oil can also be used as grapeseed substitute when making mayonnaise due to its emulsifying properties. The ‘lite’ variety of olive oil is as flavorless as the grapeseed oil.
Canola Oil
This oil is a good grapeseed substitute when baking. Canola oil is cheaper and its fat composition is similar to grapeseed oil. However, beware of its side effects on brain health.
Coconut Oil
Refined coconut oil is great grapeseed substitute, if you want an odorless and flavorless alternative. For deep frying, remember, it is the unrefined variety that has a high smoke point.
Corn Oil
Corn oil is a less expensive and healthy substitute for grapeseed oil. It can be used for cooking and frying both.
Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is a good alternative to grapeseed oil when making Chinese or Malay cuisine. However, use it sparingly as it has a pungent taste and aroma.
Sunflower Oil
The neutral flavor of sunflower oil makes it a good grapeseed oil alternative. It can be used for deep-frying foods like French fries and meats.
