Benefits
Sunflower oil is mainly composed of polyunsaturated fatty acids which include linoleic acids. These fatty acids are considered essential and must be provided daily through food, since they cannot be synthesized by the body. Sunflower oil also provides monounsaturated fat in the form of oleic acid, but in smaller amounts than that found in olive oil.
