At Canola Eat Well we love healthy food! We want to encourage you and your clients to be inspired to cook and bake in your kitchens with the best and the healthiest ingredients. Everyone needs some fat in their diet for good health. Fat supplies energy, carries flavours and helps your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Did you know that canola oil isn’t just versatile and economical, but has the least saturated fat of all common cooking oils – half that of olive oil. Canola oil is free of trans fat and a good source of plant-based omega-3 fat and vitamin E. At Canola Eat Well we also love to share stories about our farmers, their farms, and what they do to grow food for our tables. For further information, please visit www.canolaeatwell.com.
