Rice Bran Oil-Just what is it?

This past week Fit Cuisine cooked with what is being called the new super oil. Rice Bran Oil is the oil extracted from the germ and inner husk of rice. It is known for its high smoke point, making it great for cooking things like a stir fry, one of the Asian staples (it is an Asian derived product). This oil is made of the following:

47% monounsaturated fat
33% polyunsaturated fat
20% saturated fat.

So as you can see it has many healthy benefits.

1) Lowers Cholesterol
2) Anti-Cancer Effect
3) Skin Protector
4) Antioxidant Packed

This oil is located in your Whole Foods Market or any specialty food store, just ask for it by name, and get cooking for better health.
