Thrive Algae Cooking Oil - Premier Culinary Blend, Heart and Health-Conscious Oil, Rich in Omega-9 Monounsaturated Fat (90%), Very Low Omega-6, 16.9 fl oz, 1 Pack

I’m really loving this Thrive algae oil. Haven’t been using it for very long, but I love all the health benefits that it has. The flavor is mild and I love the high smoke point so I’m able to fry with it. So far, so good

I was recently put on a "heart healthy" diet by my GP and so I went in search of new everyday oil, and Thrive absolutely fit the bill. I dreaded giving up on all fried foods, but now with Thrive I can indulge/maybe even cheat a little. ;) The super high smoke point is great and I found that my fired veggie dishes (fried zucchini vs french fries) are crispy and delicious. I don't feel guilty knowing that the oil I'm using now is both heart healthy and yummy. There was very little oil splash and virtually no smoke to stink up my house. I also found that now that I'm eating more salads, the thrive has a clean taste that lets the flavor of the veggies & herbs in my dressing shine through.

I bought this because of my high cholesterol. I previously used canola oil for cooking and olive oil for salad, which I may continue doing. I am not fond of Avocado oil or other “fancy” oils, which are expensive and too precious. Thrive is a neutral oil, which works across cooking and salads. I used it to sauté veggies and it is was light with no addition of flavor. Which means my kids will eat it. In salads it replaces olive oil, although I will continue to use olive oil as well if I want the flavor. Lastly, I shallow fried some French fries and it worked like a charm. No smoke. No greasy cooking air or smell. Fries came out crispy and the pan did not have any additional clean up because the oil didn’t break down. I have not used for baking yet, but I will be trying that next.

Thrive was always my favorite culinary oil. Neutral light mouth feel for dressings, a high smoke point for frying, and high oleic for health. I'm so glad it's back! I just finished my last bottle of the original Thrive (which I had stored in a wine cooler) when I noticed this was back on sale; I had enough left to do a head-to-head comparison of taste. Same light neutral mouth feel and mild taste. I also used it for frying fish last night and the performance was the same. (I purchased the Premier oil which is less expensive and has a high oleic sunflower blended in; I believe the composition is very similar to the algae oil.)

This used to be a great oil, the algae and vitamin E was great, but you recently added sunflower oil. I realize sunflower is cheeper, but I wish you didn’t sacrifice a good quality product just for a little extra money. I will be finding a new brand to buy unless you fix this!

This oil's great, tastes like water. No flavor, super smooth. I only use this and olive oil.

Cool at higher temperatures

I bought this to try to cook healthy for my family since they like everything crispy and pan-fried. I appreciate the high smoke point and everyone is happy with the crunchy food. What I was not expecting and was pleasantly surprised by was the 1) super fast shipping 2) nicely engineered packaging/box that it arrived in 3) the pour spout that pops up when you need it but can easily be pushed down again to put the lid back on and 4) how attractive the bottle is. I usually put all bottles away to keep a clean kitchen but this white goes nicely with my white countertops! Win/win/win/win/winning!
