Organic Sunflower Organic Canola Oil

Sunflower oil is extracted from sunflower seeds, and canola oil is extracted from the seeds of the rapeseed plant. Both are common vegetable oils used in cooking. They are typically refined, bleached, and deodorized before use in packaged foods.

These oils are used as cooking mediums and as ingredients that add moisture and richness to foods. They are found in a wide variety of processed foods, including baked goods, snacks, salad dressings, and fried products.

Sunflower and canola oils are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are primarily composed of unsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. JECFA has evaluated both oils and established specifications for their quality. Some research suggests that consuming unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats can be beneficial for heart health.
