Zero-carb fat that fits keto macros, but typical (high-linoleic) sunflower oil is heavy in omega-6. Prefer *high-oleic* sunflower oil if used, and rotate with more stable, lower-omega-6 options. Reserve for higher-heat cooking when better choices aren’t available.

HOW TO ENJOY IT ON KETO
- Zero net carbs: Pure fat aligns with ketogenic macros
- High smoke point (refined): ~440°F (227°C) for searing and stir-frying
- Neutral flavor: Doesn’t overpower sauces or dressings
- Widely available and budget-friendly
- Option to choose high-oleic type: Higher in MUFA, better heat stability
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
HIGH-HEAT COOKING
Use refined or high-oleic sunflower oil for quick sautéing or wok stir-fries when cost and heat tolerance matter.
PAN-FRYING
Shallow-fry keto proteins (e.g., chicken thighs, pork chops) at moderate-high heat; drain well.
ROASTING
Lightly coat low-carb vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, cauliflower) before roasting.
COMMERCIAL COOKING
Common in restaurants; expect it in fried or sautéed foods when dining out.
BUDGET COOKING
Stretch pricier oils by blending small amounts with sunflower oil for large-batch meals.
OCCASIONAL USE
Reserve for recipes requiring neutral flavor or higher heat; otherwise favor avocado or olive oil.
