What it is

Cold-pressed sunflower oil is a cooking oil made from sunflower seeds. It is extracted by pressing the seeds without using heat or chemical solvents, which helps to preserve its natural flavor and nutrients. This method results in a less refined oil compared to conventionally processed sunflower oil.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cold-pressed sunflower oil as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, sauces, and baked goods. Its mild, nutty flavor and healthy fat profile make it a popular choice for consumers seeking less processed options. It is often found in products where a natural or "healthier" image is desired.

Health notes

Cold-pressed sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, including linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sunflower oil and its components. While considered a healthy fat source in moderation, like all fats, it is calorie-dense. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Sunflower seeds are not one of the nine FDA major food allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
