| − | Grape seed oil is extracted from grape seeds and has a relatively high [[Cookbook:Smoke Point|smoke point]], approximately 320 °F (160 °C), so it can be safely used to cook at high temperatures. Grape seed oil is commonly used for [[Cookbook:Stir-frying|stir-fries]], [[Cookbook:Sautéing|sautéing]] and [[Cookbook:Fondue|fondue]]. In addition to its high smoking point, grape seed oil has other positive attributes in relation to cooking. It has a clean, light taste that has been described as 'nutty'. Because of its 'neutral' taste, grape seed oil is often used as a base for infusing or flavoring with [[Cookbook:Garlic|garlic]], [[Cookbook:Rosemary|rosemary]], or other [[Cookbook:Herbs and Spices|herbs or spices]].

| − | The metabolic energy density of grape seed oil is comparable to that of other oils, about 120 [[Cookbook:kCal|kCal]] per tablespoon (34 [[Cookbook:kJ|kJ]]/[[Cookbook:mL|mL]]). However, the fact that less oil is needed for cooking may be useful when observing a low-fat diet.
