Description
Wood-pressed sunflower oil, a cold-pressed, unrefined oil, offers several health benefits, including heart health support, rich vitamin E content, and potential skin benefits due to its linoleic acid content, all while maintaining a natural flavor.
Rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFA and PUFA) which can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Low in saturated fat, another factor contributing to heart health.
Contains phytosterols, which help block cholesterol absorption.
Vitamin E Rich:
A good source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
One tablespoon of sunflower oil delivers a significant percentage of the recommended daily intake of vitamin E.
Linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid, helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier and retain moisture.
May have an anti-inflammatory effect when used topically.
Antioxidants and essential fatty acids may help support a healthy immune system.
Mild lubricating properties may aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and support a well-functioning digestive system.
Can withstand high cooking temperatures, making it suitable for various cooking methods like sautéing, stir-frying, and deep-frying.
Has a mild, neutral flavor that complements a wide range of dishes.
Wood-Pressed vs. Refined:
Preservation of Nutrients: Wood-pressing, a traditional method, uses minimal heat and pressure, preserving the natural nutrients and flavor of the sunflower seeds.
