B-well is encouraging South Africans to make the smart switch to Canola Oil and prioritise a healthy heart. With an increasing focus on health, Canola Oil has emerged as a healthy alternative to other cooking oils, and B-well shares some the reasons for that.
Why Canola Oil
Aside from its versatility, Canola Oil is 7% lower in saturated fats, loaded with omega-3 fats and contains a significant amount of monounsaturated fats, which help reduce your cholesterol levels and keep your heart in great shape – the healthy kitchen sidekick we all need. It is delicious and a smarter choice for you while still offering a neutral taste compared to oils like Sunflower and Olive oil or generic Vegetable oil.
Endorsed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa, B-well Canola Oil is your healthier go-to kitchen companion for all your culinary needs, whether you’re frying, grilling, or making salad dressings. Eating a diet that includes healthy fats, such as canola oil and is rich in Omega 3, can help to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke.
