Gamma One 100% Pure Rice Bran Oil, 67.6 Ounce

I was looking for alternatives to the classic vegetable oil as my husband started to have inflammatory issues with it. So I went looking for oils that had more benefits, but it also had to be a neutral oil as I already have Olive Oil for taste and can handle high temperature. This oil has been amazing to cook with over the years! It never tastes too strong but is so smooth that I can use it for everything, even for high-heat frying if needed. Its smoke point really is that high as I've fried many things in it, and the amount you get with this is more than enough for most basic frying needs. Even better, it doesn't cause any inflammatory response so it is a great health oil if you want to use something besides the basic vegetable oil. With its large size it is definitely worth the price, especially for all the benefits it has both for cooking and health.

This is high quality and it has a nice handle to pour with it. It has a mild flavor and indeed can go very hot. I don't have any reason to look for another brand, and the price was competitive.

I’ve been very pleased with the quality of this Rice Bran Oil. I use it quite often in my cold process soap recipes. It is pretty similar to Olive Oil in thickness and can be substituted for Olive Oil in recipes as long as the Lye amount is recalculated. However, it’s usually kept at a maximum usage rate of about 20%. Rice Bran Oil also has antioxidants in it and helps create a harder bar of soap than a lot of other soft oils like Sunflower Oil or Sweet Almond Oil.

A half gallon of this oil lasted me more than a year. A little goes a long way. It is a fabulous oil that never smokes at high temps. It doesn't have an overpowering taste like olive oil. The taste is mild and pleasant. What's even better is that this oil has a really high smoking point and the nutrients stay stable at high heat. Olive oil tends to break down once it reached 350 F. I heard that Rice Bran oil is even better than olive oil as far as being healthy. Rice bran oil has more antioxidant activity than olive oil because of its high vitamin E content. It's also high in vitamin K. Even though I never kept it refrigerated it held its quality for 14 months. Never went rancid and didn't lose it's taste.

I occasionally cook with this because of the high smoke point and neutral flavor. It works well for that. It's not the healthiest cooking oil, not the worst. (Something some people may want to research if your health conscious). I didn't buy it to cook with though. It's perfect for my 3c/4a hair before/on my ends while I prepoo my hair before washing and after shampooing, for sealing in other products and and on my skin for a little subtle shine. Moisturizing but not too heavy doesn't leave my hair or skin oily. Melts into skin quickly enough although you do need to thoroughly rub it in . I suggested it to someone I know with 2a hair. It would work for straighter hair types too, just use small amounts if you have straighter hair. A big bottle that I've had for months and it holds up well in storage.
