Each mix of An Average Jill granola starts with measuring the grapeseed oil. Oil is commonly used in granola to give the baked rolled oats a crunch. It also prevents a sticky mess when other wet ingredients, like honey or maple syrup, are added to the base mixture.
Different granola makers use different oils, including canola and olive oil. I prefer to use grapeseed oil, because its light and virtually flavorless and odorless, which allows the deliciousness of the other ingredients to take center stage. Grapeseed extract is also linked to many benefits to our health, hair and skin.
Grapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of grapes, typically wine grapes. The extract has been linked to many health benefits, including preventing high blood pressure; strengthening the immune system; reducing swelling; and improving cholesterol,…just to name a few. But, don’t take my word for it; there are tons of articles online that present the many benefits of incorporating grapeseed extract into a healthy diet.
