Sunflower oil is a non-volatile oil that can be easily
extracted from sunflowers. Although most people are
already familiar with sunflowers, they don’t immediately
think of sunflowers as sources of an extremely healthy
vegetable oil that can replace some of the less healthy
cooking oils available on the market. Sunflower oil is
also used in certain cosmetic applications. The main
producers [2] of sunflower oil are Russia, Ukraine, and
Argentina, but it is used throughout the world in the
preparation of various cuisines.
One of the primary reasons for the growing popularity of
sunflower oil is its impressive fatty acid content [3],
which includes palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid,
and linoleic acid. The combination of fatty acids in the
body are extremely important to maintain various elements
of human health, and sunflower oil can help maintain that
balance.
Furthermore, some of those fatty acids, as well as
vitamin E and other organic compounds, act as
antioxidants in sunflower oil, which means that they can
positively affect a huge range of conditions that people
regularly suffer from. It also has more polyunsaturated
fats than any other commonly used vegetable oil, and with
the recent craze of eating healthy and searching for
alternative options, sunflower oil is becoming quite
desirable on the international market.
