As you may have guessed, sunflower oil is pressed from the seeds of sunflowers. It has a pleasantly, mild nutty flavor and is great in salad dressings and dips. It has a relatively low smoke point, so while it is okay for sauteing, it is not recommended for higher heat stir-fries. The oil is being distributed in plastic containers. It is suggested that you transfer it into glass containers for long-term storage. Unless you plan on using your sunflower oil within the next few months, store the oil in the refrigerator for longer keeping. At the colder temperature, the oil will most likely turn a bit cloudy and perhaps even begin to solidify. This is okay. When brought back to room temperature, the oil will be clear and pourable again.
