5
Unrefined Sunflower Oil (Food Grade):
Unrefined sunflower oil is a natural vegetable oil obtained by cold pressing, which preserves all its nutritional qualities. It has a mild, authentic taste, close to that of sunflower seeds, and is perfect for gentle to medium cooking. Its richness in vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids makes it an essential oil for a balanced diet.
Why is this oil ideal for cooking?
Because it is unrefined, it retains its natural flavor and antioxidants. It withstands light cooking (sautéing, simmering, baking) while adding a gentle touch to your dishes. Unlike refined versions, it offers a superior nutritional profile.
