SUNFLOWER OIL

Sunflower oil is one of the most popular vegetable oils. It is widely believed to be very healthy, hence its wide use in the kitchen. It works both as an ingredient in delicious salads and is suitable for frying and baking.

Sunflower oil is characterized by a high content of omega-6 fatty acids and a negligible presence of omega-3 fatty acids. Compared to other vegetable oils, sunflower oil has the highest content of vitamin E. Sunflower oil is one of the best sources of phytosterols. Many years of research show that a diet rich in these compounds lowers cholesterol. Daily consumption of phytosterols prevents the development of atherosclerotic changes in the blood vessels.

Currently, sunflower oil is used not only for food, but also in cosmetics and natural medicine, as well as in the feed and fuel industry. Similarly, rapeseed or soybean oil, sunflower oil is an excellent raw material for the production of methyl esters.
