Sunflower Oil

One teaspoon of sunflower oil contains 28% of a person's daily recommended nutrient intake. This makes it the most nutritious and heart-healthy cooking oil on the market. Sunflower oil, which is high in vitamin E, can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. Because of its high omega-6 fatty acid content, it may be a little inflammatory and should be considered when adjusting proportions.

This oil is high in vitamin E; one tablespoon contains 28% of a person's daily recommended intake. It has a high smoke point and does not have a strong flavor, so it will not overpower a dish. Sunflower oil, on the other hand, is high in omega-6 fatty acids. They are required by the body, but omega-6s are thought to be pro-inflammatory, whereas omega-3s are thought to be anti-inflammatory. Consuming too many omega-6s without balancing them with omega-3s can cause excess inflammation in the body, so moderation is essential.
