Production & Sourcing
High Oleic Sunflower Oil is produced through a process that starts with extracting oil from specially bred sunflower seeds, which are high in oleic acid. After the seeds are cleaned and de-hulled, they undergo a process of mechanical pressing or solvent extraction to obtain the crude oil.
This crude oil then goes through refining steps, including degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization, to remove impurities, improve color, and eliminate any unwanted odors.
The result is a clear, stable, and high-quality oil with a high content of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid known for its heart-healthy benefits.
