Clarification on Sunflower Oil Type and Grade
Question
Could you please provide more details about the specific type of Sunflower Oil sold? For example, is it a High Oleic type, cold-pressed, or something else? I'm asking because the price is relatively high, and it has a shelf life of up to 2 years. I'd like to know more about it.
Answer
Sunflower Oil (High Omega, Refined)
The Sunflower Oil you are asking about is specifically a High Omega type and is a Refined grade sunflower seed oil.
Based on the product description, it is not a High Oleic type or cold-pressed. The "High Omega type" indicates a specific fatty acid profile, containing more than 50% Omega 6 and more than 30% Omega 9.
Its stability and resistance to oxidation are attributed to being rich in Vitamin E and low in saturated fat. This contributes to its long shelf life of 24 months.
The INCI Name is Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil.
