The pale yellow, delicately-flavoured sunflower-seed oil is very high in polyunsaturated fat and low in saturated fat. Though it has a relatively low smoke point, sunflower-seed oil is used in cooking as well as for salad dressings.
Sunflower oil may also have suggested skin-health benefits. Sunflower oil, like other oils, can retain moisture in the skin. However, it may also provide a protective barrier that resists infection.
| Uses: |
| | Health Benefits: | - Crede sunflower oil is unrefined and unhydrogenated. This makes it a far healthier form of sunflower oil than standard hydrogenated versions. Note that cold-pressed sunflower oil should not be used for frying.
