About One tablespoon sunflower oil
Sunflower oil, extracted from sunflower seeds, offers a versatile cooking staple with a light taste and high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, baking, and dressings across diverse cuisines. It primarily originates from regions like Eastern Europe, North America, and Argentina, where sunflowers thrive as a crop. One tablespoon contains approximately 120 calories, 14 grams of fat (mostly unsaturated), and is cholesterol-free. Rich in vitamin E, sunflower oil contributes to skin health and acts as an antioxidant. It boasts high levels of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which may support heart health when used in moderation. However, its omega-6 fatty acid content requires balance with omega-3 sources in the diet to maintain proper inflammation control. While highly processed versions may lack some nutrients, cold-pressed varieties retain their natural benefits. Incorporating sunflower oil thoughtfully can enhance both flavor and nutritional value in cooking.
