HELLO EVERYONE I HAVE COOKING OIL WHICH I HAVE BEING USING AND AS I HAVE GOT INTOLERANCE TOO NUTS AND SEEDS I READ THE INGREDIENTS ON THE BACK OF THE VEGETABLE OIL CARTON AND IT SAYS RAPESEED OIL WOULD THIS MEAN IT CONTAINS SEEDS?
WOULD GROUNDNUT OIL CONTAIN TRACES OF NUTS TOO...??
It wouldn't contain seeds but the oil is made from that.
I would check into that..if something is made from nuts or nut product and you have intolerances to them I would not eat it.

Rapeseed is very closely related to Canola seeds. Biologically speaking they're kind of fraternal twins. I would think if you could tolerate Canola oil you could handle Rapeseed oil. Likewise, if you can't tolerate Canola oil, Rapeseed oil would be a bad choice.

The only oil that does not become a carinogen when heated is coconut oil. Only buy organic unrefined raw coconut oil. It is a potent anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Olive oil is good cold but not heated.
I think "groundnut" means peanut, which is a legume, not a true nut.
Edit: you may or may not react to an oil made from an allergen. For instance, some people who can't handle casein CAN handle ghee. Some who can't handle soy can handle soy lecithin or even soybean oil. If you are reacting to the protein and a product contains no protein but is 100% fat, you may be fine with it. As for me, I'm casein-intolerant, but ghee doesn't seem to bother me. I'm soy-intolerant, but I seem to be able to handle soy lecithin, but not soybean oil (maybe slight traces of the stuff are OK, but dishes prepared in a restaurant using this oil make me ill).
