What it is

Sunflower peanut oil is a blend of oils derived from sunflower seeds and peanuts. It is created by physically pressing the seeds and nuts to extract their oils, which are then refined to remove impurities. This combination aims to leverage the distinct flavor profiles and physical properties of both oils.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sunflower peanut oil as a cooking oil and a source of fat in processed foods. Its balanced flavor and smoke point make it suitable for baking, frying, and as an ingredient in salad dressings and snack foods. It is often found in popcorn, trail mixes, and roasted nuts.

Health notes

Sunflower peanut oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a source of fats, it contributes to caloric intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various edible oils. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels of this oil blend.

Allergen info

This product is derived from peanuts, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
