What it is

Sunflower oil is a vegetable oil made from the seeds of the sunflower plant. The seeds are typically pressed to extract the oil, which is then refined for use in food products. It is known for its light flavor and high smoke point.

Why it's used

Sunflower oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and snacks. Its neutral flavor and ability to withstand high heat make it versatile for various cooking methods and food applications.

JECFA has evaluated sunflower oil and found it to be safe for consumption. Research suggests that diets rich in unsaturated fats may support heart health.
