---Hi Donna,

I copied this from the Spectrum site for you. It should answer some

of your questions,if not all.

Best of luck! JoAnn

 

Spectrum Naturals markets minimally refined canola, safflower,

sesame, soy, sunflower, and walnut oils.

 

For high-heat cooking temperatures up to 520° F, refined oils that

are high in monounsaturates are best. These include Spectrum Naturals

high-oleic safflower, super canola, and avocado oils.

 

High Oleic Oils

 

High oleic varieties are oil hybrids that have been genetically

enhanced through selective plant breeding to produce high ratios of

oleic acid (omega 9). The rise in oleic acid increases the oil's

stability and shelf life. High oleic oils have been bred to reduce

polyunsaturated components and increase the monounsaturated content.

High oleic oils should have at least 90% of the oleic content similar

to olive oil. Olive oil is the benchmark for good culinary oleic-

based oils. This means that an oil should be at least 75% oleic by

total fat content to be regarded as high oleic. High oleic oils

perform well in medium to high heat cooking applications, such as

deep frying or high heat sauteing.
