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.

I love this oil for cooking. It is great for frying especially. It never has had an aftertaste or changed texture. I highly recommend.

If you are looking for a cooking oil with little to no flavor that would take away from what you are frying or sautéing this is your oil. It also has a very high smoking point. I have been using it for many years as has my husband who makes the BEST pommes frites using this oil. It's also great for mild fish, shrimo, anything that you don't want to cover up with a flavorful oil.

the best

The best cooking oil i've ever used. like the previous reviewer, i too don't know the veracity of the health claims, but this is the best neutral oil around. by far.

I can't swear to the health benefits included in the product's description, but it is definitely the best oil for use in high heat cooking I've ever seen. I've used peanut oil, avocado oil, almond oil, etc. and nothing has a higher smoke point than this rice bran oil. It's neutral in flavor and has a very long shelf life. I love it.

Great for cooking and baking

I bought this oil on a whim based on a recipe featured at Chef Shop's webpage. Now it is all I use for high heat cooking when I don't use olive oil and it's amazing for baking. My favorite lately is in zucchini bread and chocolate cake. I highly recommend if you're looking for an alternative to canola or vegetable oil.

Great for High Heat Cooking

This is now my go-to oil for high heat cooking. I’ve also been using it in salad dressings. Great!

Love this Stuff

This is a great option for stir-frying and use in baked goods etc. I often use coconut oil, which is great healthwise, but has a strong flavor that isn't always appropriate for what I am cooking. I was tired of using vegetable oil for my pan frying and cakes due to the negative health benefits. This has become my go-to oil for these tasks as it is pretty affordable and works wonderfully. I highly recommend you try it!
