Grape seed oil is a nice massage oil due to is lightness and odorless qualities, and because it absorbs easily through the skin. The oil may also be used to remove makeup and as a general skin cleanser. It is better for cooking than olive oil due to the fact it is tasteless and has a higher flashpoint than other oils. Did you know that grape seeds are a by-product of wine production and the oil pressed from them is very light and delicate? Many chefs prefer it because it has a neutral flavor and odor and food cooked in it develops a light crispness without the flavor of the ingredients being affected or masked. It can be used in sweet or savory dishes and is equally good for marinating food and combining with other ingredients as a delicious salad dressing.
