What kind of food is this?
An oil pressed from sunflower seeds. Vitamin E is 39mg per 100g, the highest of the oils we list.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant vitamin that helps protect cell membranes and fats from oxidation.
Sunflower oil's fatty-acid makeup varies greatly by variety. The values on this page are for the high-oleic type, which is a different product from high-linoleic types. High-oleic sunflower oil is mostly oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, with 6600mg of linoleic acid per 100g.
Rather than lumping it all together as 'sunflower oil = high in linoleic acid,' this is a food where you check the type on the label.
How to serve
Check the label of the product you use for terms such as "high oleic," "high oleic acid," or "high linoleic acid.".
