Poland is among the leading rapeseed producers in the EU, with harvests reaching 3\u20134 million tonnes of seed annually.

Rapeseed oil \u2013 both cold-pressed and refined \u2013 is free from gluten and lactose. It is a pure vegetable fat containing no cereal proteins or milk proteins. This information is relevant when formulating products carrying &#8216;gluten free&#8217; and &#8216;dairy free&#8217; claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How many calories are in a tablespoon of rapeseed oil?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tablespoon of rapeseed oil (approx. 10 g) contains approximately <\/span><b>90 kcal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A dessert spoon (approx. 5 g) \u2013 approximately 45 kcal. When calculating the nutritional value of a formulation, oil density should be taken into account if dosing is performed volumetrically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is rapeseed oil suitable for baking cakes and bread?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes \u2013 the neutral flavour and thermal stability of rapeseed oil perform well in baking sponge cakes, muffins, and breads. In large-scale bakery and confectionery production, however, dedicated bakery margarines or confectionery fats should be considered, as these provide a precisely engineered crystallisation profile, plasticity, and aeration properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you looking for <\/span><b>rapeseed oil for industrial frying<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, frying fats, or would you like to discuss raw material selection for your production line?
