• What is high oleic sunflower oil?
  • High-oleic sunflower oil that’s cold-pressed. These cold-pressed oils are slowly expeller pressed and unrefined so they never exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which helps them retain maximum flavor and nutrition; and their high MUFA content means they’re relatively stable when heated.
  • Why is cold pressed oil better than expeller pressed?
  • 3. Nutrient Retention Cold-pressed oil retains more nutrients, antioxidants, and natural flavors due to the gentle extraction process, compared to expeller-pressed oil, which may lose some nutrients from the higher temperatures during extraction. 4. Flavor Holding Capacity
  • How does an expeller press work?
  • An expeller press or ¡°screw press,¡± is a machine that presses seeds and nuts through a cavity and uses intense friction and pressure to extract oil. During this process, there isn¡¯t any added heat but since the seeds are pressed using friction, heat is created (around 140-210? F). Once the seeds are pressed, the oil is removed.
  • What is the difference between unrefined and cold pressed sunflower oil?
  • Another important note: As mentioned above, cold-pressed, unrefined sunflower oil has a much lower smoke point than refined. The price of getting that higher smoke point is basically the destruction of the oil into a rancid fatty acid fest! Here¡¯s a brief description of what you¡¯re getting with refined sunflower oil:
  • What is expeller pressed oil?
  • Expeller-pressed oils are basically oils extracted by a fancy method called expeller pressing. It¡¯s like a giant mechanical press, squishing seeds or nuts to get the oil out. This method doesn¡¯t involve the use of chemicals or heat, but, yes, natural heat is evolved when machinery takes action.
  • What is the difference between an expeller press and a cold press?
  • Typically, when these ingredients are pressed, they are at a much lower temperature (122? F) compared to an expeller press. Note: Unlike oilseed presses, absolutely no heat is used when making cold-pressed oils with one of Goodnature¡¯s cold-press machines.
