MAKING IT CREAMY, KEEPING IT NUTRITIOUS
Our products use rapeseed oil (known as non-GMO canola oil in North America) as the main source of fat, it’s what gives Sproud its rich, creamy texture. We’re very selective about the oils we use, choosing only those that retain their natural nutritional benefits while delivering a clean, mild taste.
Rapeseed oil is naturally rich in healthy unsaturated fats (about 88%), including oleic and linoleic acids, which are essential for a balanced diet and support heart health.
Unlike many other seed oils that are high in omega-6 but low in omega-3, rapeseed oil has a much better balance (typically between 2:1 and 4:1). This balance helps reduce inflammation and supports overall cardiovascular wellbeing.
GENTLY PROCESSED
We source our rapeseed oil close to home (from southern Sweden near our production site) where it’s grown in line with strict EU farming standards and the even tighter pesticide guidelines of the FEDIOL code of practice. In Canada, we use non-GMO–certified rapeseed oil that meets the same high standards.
Our oil is pressed and deodorised, a gentle processing method that preserves its nutrients while keeping the flavour light and neutral. The result is a rapeseed oil with an ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of around 2:1 which is one of the healthiest among vegetable oils.
Modern rapeseed oil is also naturally low in erucic acid, making it safe for everyday use. Plus, it contains beneficial compounds such as vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, and plant sterols which are powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties.
In short, rapeseed oil delivers a perfect mix of healthy fats and natural nutrients, making it a nutritious, sustainable, and versatile ingredient in our plant-based products.
