Sunflower oil

Sunflower oil is a light, versatile cooking oil extracted from sunflower seeds, renowned for its mild flavor and high smoke point. It is a rich source of Vitamin E, making it a healthy choice for cooking, frying, baking, and salad dressings. Its high content of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, promoting heart health.

Sunflower oil also contains Omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for various bodily functions. Its neutral taste makes it ideal for a wide range of dishes without overpowering the natural flavors of the ingredients. Due to its high smoke point, it is particularly suitable for frying and deep-frying, providing a crispy texture without burning.
