Refined Sunflower Oil / Sunflower Cooking Oil / Sunflower Oil

Refined Sunflower Oil is a pale yellow oil extracted from sunflower seeds, renowned for its high polyunsaturated fat content (primarily Omega-6 linoleic acid) and low saturated fats. With excellent oxidative stability, it offers a long shelf life without hydrogenation.

Key Features:

  • High Smoke Point: Ideal for high-temperature cooking, frying, and industrial uses.
  • Neutral Flavor: Enhances dishes without overpowering natural tastes.
  • Nutrient-Rich: Retains vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that supports cellular health.
  • Versatile Applications: Used in cooking, margarine production, canned foods, and cosmetics.

Health Benefits:

  • Supports cardiovascular health by balancing cholesterol.
  • Boosts immunity and metabolism.
  • Rich in Omega-6 linoleic acid (59.2%) and Omega-9 oleic acid (27.3%).

Packaging Options:
Available in bulk or PET bottles. Custom labels and packaging designs are available upon request.

Notes:

  • Discrepancy resolved: The fatty acid composition in the table reflects standard refined sunflower oil (59.2% linoleic acid). The earlier description mentioning 82.6% oleic acid refers to high-oleic variants, which is not this product.
  • Corrected “low smoke point” to high smoke point for accuracy.
