Huile de Tournesol, or sunflower oil, is a versatile vegetable oil derived from the seeds of sunflowers. Native to North and South America, sunflower oil is widely used in European, Mediterranean, and global cuisines due to its light flavor and high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, sautéing, and baking. It is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health and immune function, and contains unsaturated fats, which may benefit heart health when consumed in moderation. Sunflower oil is available in refined and unrefined varieties; the refined version is often preferred for cooking due to its neutral taste and heat stability. However, it is relatively high in omega-6 fatty acids, which should be balanced with omega-3 intake to avoid promoting inflammation. As with any oil, moderation is key to incorporating it into a healthy diet.
