Is grapeseed oil and grapeseed the same as grapeseed extract health wise???

Question

Does it have omega 3

Answer 1

No, they have entirely different benefits. Grapeseed is primarily good as an antioxidant, but Grapeseed Oil is primarily used for cooking and has a lot of vitamin E naturally occurring in it. Grapeseed Oil doesn't have sufficient Omega 3 fatty acids, but it does have high contents of Omega 6 fatty acids.

Answer 2

Other answer was a good one. Grapeseed and grapeseed extract are known for bioflavanoids, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Grapeseed oil has long been used for natural cosmetics and has recently come to light for it's high vitamin E content. It is a healthy oil for cooking and lighter in taste than olive oil. I use it on rare occasions when I want to make a white cake or biscuits. Here's a short article on it, comparing it to flaxseeds, which are a good source of omega-3: http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=dai...
