DID YOU SAY “OLEIC”?
Yes, oleic. Oleic fatty acid, also called omega-9, is a monounsaturated fat that is very resistant to heat and one of the pillars of the Mediterranean diet.
To qualify as “oleic”, sunflower oil must contain a minimum of 75% monounsaturated fat. Conventional sunflower oils contain barely 25%.
With its rate of 82%, Le Pré Rieur organic oleic sunflower oil directly competes with the best olive oils!
We also note its low levels of saturated and polyunsaturated fats, two types of fats present in excessive quantities in processed foods and over-consumed by the general Canadian population.
OLEIC OIL FOR COOKING: PERFECT FOR ALL RECIPES
Its very high oleic acid content is what gives our sunflower oil great resistance to heat. Unlike many other vegetable oils, our oil can be heated without fear. It can even be used to make homemade frying, as long as it is not used more than twice.
THE BENEFITS OF OLEIC FAT
FOR HEALTH
Daily consumption of good fats is essential to maintaining good general health. Oleic fats are monounsaturated fats, also called omega-9, and they are one of the types of fats that health professionals recommend favoring.
These fats have been the subject of numerous studies around the world for many years. Among the demonstrated benefits, the best known are undoubtedly their role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, in particular thanks to their positive effects on blood cholesterol levels. It is when the diet is both rich in monounsaturated fats and low in saturated fats that the greatest health benefits are observed.
High oleic sunflower oil, avocados, and almonds are some examples of foods rich in healthy monounsaturated fats.
ALSO AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS
One tablespoon (15 ml) of our high oleic sunflower oil contains just over 7 mg of vitamin E, almost half of Health Canada's recommended daily intake of 15 mg.
Vitamin E is a dietary antioxidant that prevents the oxidation of fats in our body, thus contributing to our general and cardiovascular health.

• Richer in omega-9 monounsaturated fats
• Richer in vitamin E
• Much more heat resistant
• More versatile flavor in cooking
