High Smoke Point Oil#4 or NOT

Sunflower Oil

Contrary to what is believed, the higher smoke point of sunflower oil is not an indicator that it a great choice for roasting and frying.

There are types of sunflower oils that when heated to temperatures of 356°F (or 180°C as in deep-frying) release aldehydes.

*aldehydes - toxic compounds that can damage DNA and cells, consequently contributing to conditions like heart disease and Alzheimer’s.

Therefore, gentle, low heat cooking methods such as stir-frying may be a safer use of sunflower oil.

It can go rancid very quickly, so be sure to store it in a cool, dry place.
