The NuSun sunflower oil profile was developed by the U.S. National Sunflower Association,
in coordination with the USDA, to create an oil essential for the food industry. NuSun oil has
a naturally high smoke point and does not require trans-fat creating hydrogenation to remain
stable at high temperatures. It has a good shelf life and neutral taste profile making it an
excellent choice for frying oil. A typical fatty acid profile is 65% oleic acid, 26% linoleic acid
