To all the health buffs and cooks out there who are thinking of cooking up a healthier lifestyle, then it's Time To Change Your Oil. As a health buff myself, I've been using Pompian olive oil in my cooking. I never knew that grapeseed oil has similar health benefits to olive oil, and that it is even more versatile for cooking due to its light taste and high smoke point. Dear readers, you need to try this oil in your cooking and I'm pretty sure you would really love this in your foods. Here's one recipe using grapeseed oil.
If you're a blogger, you might want to enter the contest. All you need to do is create a recipe that contains Pompeian’s Grapeseed oil or OlivExtra Premium Mediterranean Blend and post it to your blog along with an image of the recipe and then submit it to the Pompeian’s Time to Change Your Oill App on Facebook.
