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.
