About Oil, sunflower, linoleic, (approx. 65%)
Sunflower oil is pressed from sunflower seeds and is a clear, light, almost flavorless oil widely used for frying, baking and dressings. This entry is the traditional high-linoleic type; a high-oleic version, bred for a different fat profile and longer shelf life, is also common.
It is one of the richest dietary sources of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells, and like all oils it is pure fat at about 884 calories per 100 grams. The high-linoleic form is dominated by the omega-6 fat linoleic acid — beneficial in place of saturated fat, though most modern diets already supply plenty of omega-6, so balance with omega-3 sources is worth keeping in mind.
Its neutral taste and high smoke point make sunflower oil a dependable, inexpensive choice for everyday cooking where you don't want the oil itself to add flavor.
