SONČNIČNO OLJE
Sunflower oil is a type of vegetable oil extracted from sunflower seeds. It's commonly used for cooking, baking, and frying due to its mild flavor, high smoke point, and versatility. There are different types of sunflower oil, primarily categorized by their fatty acid content.High Oleic Sunflower Oil: Rich in monounsaturated fats (oleic acid), which makes it more stable and suitable for high-heat cooking. It’s also a popular choice for health-conscious consumers, as monounsaturated fats are associated with heart health.
Linoleic Sunflower Oil: Contains more polyunsaturated fats (linoleic acid), making it better for dressings and low-heat cooking but less stable for frying.
Mid-Oleic Sunflower Oil: A blend between high oleic and linoleic varieties, offering moderate heat stability and health benefits.
Sunflower oil is known for its high vitamin E content, an antioxidant that supports skin health and the immune system. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile in culinary applications, from salad dressings to sautéing.
