Buy soyana Organic High-Oleic Sunflower Oil (750 ml)

Suitable for cooking and frying. Due to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, it is particularly well-suited for heating. It is well known that cold-pressed oils with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids are healthy—as long as they are not heated! When oil is heated, the polyunsaturated fatty acids break down and form toxic byproducts and free radicals. Therefore, be sure to heat only refined vegetable oils that are high in monounsaturated fatty acids, as these remain stable when heated and do not form toxic substances.

In 1997, Soyana therefore made the decision to use only high-oleic organic sunflower oil in the production of all heated foods to protect consumers, since the oil from these newly bred sunflowers contains approximately 75% monounsaturated fatty acids, making it particularly well-suited for cooking.

High-oleic organic sunflower oil also contains approximately 50 mg of vitamin E per 100 g of oil; in other words, 2.5 tablespoons of high-oleic organic sunflower oil (20 g) provide the daily requirement of vitamin E (10 mg). Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and neutralizes free radicals.

To this day, Soyana is likely the only manufacturer of dairy or meat alternatives that does not simply use standard organic sunflower oil—which contains approximately 23% monounsaturated and 60% polyunsaturated fatty acids—as if this oil were not going to be heated. Soyana thus adheres to the SOYANA QUALITY PRINCIPLE: “LOVE FOR 1,000 DETAILS” (in food production).
