What do you use grapeseed oil for?

I just love Watkins grapeseed oil. Not only is it flavorful, adds moisture to your meals, it's healthy for you. Also, the price on our oil is awesome!

I love how I can alter the taste with our various dip mixes. Some of my favorites are the tomato & basil and the sesame garlic. You can add any dip mix and/or seasonings to the oil to create different dishes.
