Sunflower Oil
Sunflower Oil is a cooking oil pressed from sunflower seeds, commonly used for frying, roasting and salad dressings; varieties range from unrefined cold‑pressed to high‑oleic types designed for higher heat tolerance. Nutritionally it is almost pure fat, providing 100g of fat per 100g, and is often chosen for its light flavor and high vitamin E content. Depending on the variety, sunflower oil can offer a favorable profile of unsaturated fats (especially in high‑oleic versions) and is a concentrated, calorie‑dense ingredient best used in moderation; opting for high‑oleic or extra‑virgin styles preserves more beneficial compounds than heavily refined versions.
