What Are the Health Benefits of Sunflower Oil?
Sunflower oil naturally has a high proportion of polyunsaturated fats that contain essential fatty acids, like linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid with a zigzag structure, which is better for cholesterol levels than the straight-shaped saturated fats—making it a good choice for heart health and preventing cardiovascular disease. It also contains vitamin E, but the oil’s antioxidant properties tend to break down during cooking (even more so than olive oil, with its lower smoke point!), decreasing its potential health benefits.
How Healthy Is Sunflower Oil Compared With Other Oils?
Sunflower oil contains about 13 percent saturated fat, which is more than grapeseed oil, canola oil, and safflower oils, but less than coconut oil, palm oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, and soybean oils. It has the same amount of saturated fat as olive and corn oil.
Unrefined sunflower oil has vitamin E and should be consumed raw to take advantage of its benefits. High-oleic sunflower oil is a type of oil that contains more monounsaturated fats than polyunsaturated fats. Currently there’s little evidence to suggest that monounsaturated fats are healthier than polyunsaturated, but they do tend to be a little more stable.
