What is it?

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil – High Oleic Cooking Oil is an oil made from organically grown sunflower seeds selected for their naturally high oleic acid content. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid (Omega-9) also commonly found in olive oil.

Compared with conventional sunflower oil, high-oleic sunflower oil contains a greater proportion of monounsaturated fat, which also makes it more resistant to oxidation and generally more suitable for cooking at higher temperatures.

“DEO” commonly refers to a deodorized oil, meaning the oil has been processed to reduce its natural aroma and flavour, producing a more neutral-tasting cooking oil. The exact meaning should be confirmed against the product specification.
