Or Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the sunflower. It is a common cooking oil, known for its light flavor and high smoke point. The seeds are typically pressed to extract the oil, which may then be refined.

Sunflower oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in many processed foods. It adds moisture and a smooth texture to baked goods, dressings, and sauces. It is also used in snacks like chips and crackers.

Sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for sunflower oil. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Some research suggests that high intake of polyunsaturated fats may have benefits for heart health, but evidence is mixed on specific impacts.
