Does grapeseed oil have both omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids?
A- Yes, but the omega 3 content is very low (about 0.2 % as linolenic acid) representing no more than is found in any other vegetable oil. The major fatty acids are of the omega 6 family, represented by the high linoleic acid content (making up about 68 % of all fatty acids). The other fatty acids are largely of the omega-9 family (oleic – 19 %) with small amounts of saturated fatty acids (palmitic – 7.2% and stearic – 4.8%).
