Organic deodorized oleic sunflower oil

Virgin sunflower oil is essential in the diet because it contains a high percentage of linoleic acid (58%), an essential fatty acid that humans cannot synthesize and which must be provided by food. This oil is used in diets aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease and lowering “bad cholesterol” (accompaniment to salads and raw vegetables). Sunflower oil is also rich in vitamin E, a natural antioxidant. It is nourishing and softening and does not leave a greasy film on the skin because it is quickly absorbed. The oil is also used as a base for massage oils and creams.
