Secondly, sunflower seed oil with high oleic acid has higher oxidation stability. Compared with common sunflower seed oil, sunflower seed oil with high oleic acid is less prone to decomposition or oxidation during high-temperature cooking, which makes it an ideal choice for high-temperature cooking methods such as frying and roasting. In addition, it has a longer shelf life and is not easy to deteriorate.
Besides, sunflower seed oil with high oleic acid has a light taste and is suitable for various cooking methods, including frying, stir-frying and cold salad. Because of its high smoke point, it will not produce more harmful substances at high temperature, so it is safer and healthier.
