Grapeseed is less processed and if you buy organic, I think it can't be GMO. I'm not positive about that. I have been told by an organic farmer that all rapeseed (aka canola) is GMO. I use ghee, avocado oil, duck fat or beef tallow to pan fry. I do use a mixture of grapeseed oil and avo oil to make mayo. I've become quite picky about the fats I use after lots of research. I'll stop now since this is a cooking site and not a health site. :)
Interesting - I deliberately use grape seed in baked goods because it's one of the most neutral oils around - I find that canola oil gives baked goods a really "off" flavor that I don't like. So, bottom line, it should work out fine for you.
Your palate is watching out for you. Canola is bad stuff. Did you know livestock won't eat feed that has canola oil on it? It's been processed over such high heat to remove the poisons that it's completely rancid before it is even bottled. There's an eye opening video on YouTube about it.
Yes. of course you can, but you may not like the taste. I use grape seed oil largely for its high flame point when sautéing. I don't care for its flavor in salad dressings or in baked goods. Canola oil has a more neutral flavor if you are going go be baking with it.
