Uses of sunflower oil across the kitchen and industry

Sunflower oil is one of the most versatile edible oils. Here is where it works best and which grade to specify.

Uses of sunflower oil across the kitchen and industry

Frying and cooking

Refined sunflower oil suits everyday frying and cooking with its neutral taste and high smoke point; high-oleic oil is preferred for repeated and industrial frying.

Sauces, bakery and snacks

Its neutral flavour makes sunflower oil a default for dressings, mayonnaise, bakery and snack production where it must not mask other flavours.

Industrial applications

Beyond food, sunflower oil serves as a feedstock for oleochemical and non-food industrial uses.
