smoke point
Q: What is the smoke point of MacNut Oil and aren't there oils with higher numbers?
A: The smoke point of MacNut Oil is 410°F. This high number allows you the flexibility to use MacNut Oil at higher temperatures than most oils. While some coconut oils do have a higher smoke point (450°F), it is also very high in saturated fats (91%) - which may be dangerous to your heart. Peanut oil, is about the same, (450°F); and is very high in the pro-inflammatory type of omega-6 fatty acids (33%) as is the case with grape seed oil - 400°F smoke point but 72% of the dangerous omega-6 fatty acids. Smoke point isn't the whole story either. Some oils form free radicals and trans fats before they smoke.
