Sunflower Oil

Everling Coastal Farm Sunflower Oil is made from high oleic sunflower seeds organically grown in Virginia and produces more Vitamin E (antioxidant) and tocopherols than other vegetable oils, antioxidants counter balance cancer causing free radicals. Our EVSO is naturally low in saturated fat, cholesterol free, has zero grams of trans fats, is chemical free and of the highest quality oil available. EVSO strengthens your immune system, improves heart health and lowers cholesterol: Eating high-quality oils that contain Omega-6s and -9s can help you get the right balance of omega fatty acids. EVSO also provides a great combination of Vitamin K and essential fatty acids. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are essential to the human body, and unsaturated fatty acids present in the oil provide energy and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 

Sunflower oil improves skin clarity and moisturizes dry skin. It can also be used as a carrier oil for essential oils and to make home made soaps and cosmetics. EVSO also helps to reduce inflammation: Sunflower seeds contain tryptophan, which can work to numb pain, which is why sunflower oil can be used as a mild pain reliever. 

Cooking with Sunflower Oil: Our Sunflower Oil is unrefined, and because it's high oleic sunflower oil, the smokepoint is higher at 400℉. Our oil maintains a high level of nutrients and is a much healthier option than refined oils.
