Could this be the miracle fat that helps us get skinny?

Delicate yet not very flavorful, rice bran oil just may be the world's healthiest edible oil. Rice bran oil comes from the most nutritious part of the rice grain, loaded with monounsaturated fats & polyunsaturated fats, as well as vitamin E. These are the good fats that help your body lose weight.

Which means that rice bran oil is not only nutritious, but a superior salad, cooking, baking and frying oil that leaves no lingering aftertaste.

Usage Suggestions

Extremely versatile, rice bran oil is an excellent choice for baking and for nearly any cooking method—from deep-frying and pan-frying to sautéing, stir-frying, grilling, and roasting.

Benefits of Rice Bran Oil

High Smoke Point
With a smoke point of approximately 485°F (252°C), rice bran oil performs well at high temperatures and is comparable to or higher than many common cooking oils, including peanut and grapeseed oil. This high smoke point helps reduce oil breakdown during cooking. Its relatively light viscosity may also result in less oil absorption in foods, which can help reduce overall fat intake. Many chefs report needing less oil compared to heavier oils.

Neutral Flavor
Rice bran oil has a very mild, neutral taste, allowing the natural flavors of foods to shine. It blends well with other ingredients, making it ideal for salad dressings, baked goods, and delicate dishes without imparting unwanted flavor.

Excellent Shelf Life
Rice bran oil has a longer shelf life than many other cooking oils, in part due to its naturally occurring antioxidants. These compounds help slow oxidation and maintain oil stability over time.

Non-GMO
Rice bran oil is naturally non-GMO, unlike many commercially produced seed oils. High-quality rice bran oil is produced in several countries, including Brazil, and is widely used in Japan, where it is traditionally favored for tempura frying.

Health Benefits of Rice Bran Oil

• Rich in Vitamin E Complex and Antioxidants
Rice bran oil is an excellent source of vitamin E compounds and other micronutrients that help protect cells from oxidative stress.

• Contains Unique Antioxidants
It provides a range of antioxidants, including tocopherols, tocotrienols, and gamma-oryzanol, a compound studied for its potential role in cholesterol management and relief of some menopausal symptoms. Additional compounds include phytosterols, polyphenols, and squalene.

• Balanced Fatty Acid Profile
Rice bran oil offers a favorable balance of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats, consistent with dietary guidelines from organizations such as the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization.

Approximate lipid composition:

• Omega-3 fatty acids: 0–2%

• Omega-6 fatty acids: 34–39%

• Omega-9 fatty acids (oleic acid): 38–42%

• Saturated fats (primarily palmitic acid): ~15–20%

This balance is considered more moderate compared to oils very high in omega-6 fatty acids.

* By comparison, sunflower and safflower oils may contain approximately 65% and up to 85% omega-6 fatty acids, respectively.

** Some studies published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology and other peer-reviewed sources suggest that components of rice bran oil may help support healthy cholesterol levels when used as part of a balanced diet.
