What the AI looks for in Canola Oils
- Extraction method
- Mainstream canola is solvent-extracted and refined; choose expeller-pressed or organic if that matters to you. This is the only meaningful difference between brands, since refined canola is otherwise a commodity.
- Bottle size vs usage
- Buy a jug only if you finish it within a few months of opening. Canola's omega-3 content makes it go rancid with a painty smell over time.
Brands that matter
- Crisco: Commodity canola and vegetable oils.
- Wesson: Mainstream canola and vegetable oils.
- Spectrum: Organic and expeller-pressed options.
- Mazola: Canola alongside its corn oil.
What to avoid
- Paying a premium for 'heart-healthy' marketing on what is an identical commodity oil
