Sunflower oil (high oleic)
A more stable version of sunflower oil with no known histamine content and better resistance to oxidation.
High-oleic sunflower oil is bred to have a fatty acid profile closer to olive oil, making it significantly more shelf-stable.
-
Better for cooking — the higher oleic acid content means it holds up to heat much better than standard sunflower oil, with less oxidation
-
Same clean histamine profile — like regular sunflower oil, the high-oleic version has no known histamine content or triggering properties
It's often considered the more practical version for everyday cooking.
