Canola Peanut Sunflower Oil

Canola, peanut, and sunflower oils are all vegetable oils. Canola oil comes from the seeds of the canola plant. Peanut oil is made from pressed peanuts, and sunflower oil comes from sunflower seeds. These oils are typically refined and purified for use in food.

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in many processed foods. They provide a source of fat and can add flavor and texture. You can find them in snacks, baked goods, salad dressings, and fried foods.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists these oils as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). They are a source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated these oils and found them safe for consumption. Some research suggests that diets rich in unsaturated fats may support heart health.
