Sunflower oil is a natural, plant-based oil that provides energy and essential fatty acids, with benefits for both humans and animals.🌻
-
Nutrient profile: It’s rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid (omega-6), and contains vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant.
-
Uses in animals (including horses): Often added as a safe calorie source to help maintain weight, improve coat shine, and provide extra energy without increasing starch levels.
-
Stability: High-oleic sunflower oil is more stable (less likely to go rancid) than regular sunflower oil.
-
Uses in human nutrition: Commonly used for cooking, baking, salad dressings, and margarine production. It has a mild flavour and a high smoke point, making it versatile.
