Organic Healthy Refined Sunflower Cooking Oil

Low-to-extremely-high-temperature cooking calls for refined sunflower oil. It performs like a standard vegetable triglyceride when used as a frying oil. In Eastern European cuisines, unrefined sunflower oil is used as a salad dressing. Sunflower butter contains sunflower oil as well. Cold-pressed, unrefined sunflower oil is more difficult to come by in the United States and is best used in vinaigrettes and other low-heat applications to highlight its flavours, whereas refined sunflower oil's high smoke point (440 to 475A F) makes it a good choice for high-heat cooking such as frying and sautACing. Sunflower oil is an excellent choice for heart health. It is high in oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid) and improves blood lipids and factor VIIc levels (coagulant activity). It also contains Vitamin E, which protects the body's cholesterol from oxidation by harmful free radicals. Sunflower oil is a versatile cooking oil that can endure high heat. On store shelves, shoppers may also notice "high-oleic" variants of sunflower or canola oils, as well as high-oleic oils indicated on ingredient lists of processed foods.
