Instructions
Step 1
Store sunflower oil at a suitable temperature. You should not overcool it or leave it in a too hot place, since in both cases it loses its beneficial properties and may even be hazardous to health. Best of all, sunflower oil will retain its qualities at a temperature of five to twenty degrees.
Step 2
Protect sunflower oil from the sun's rays. When exposed to light, important elements are destroyed in it, including vitamin A, the so-called retinol. Therefore, after use, it is necessary to remove the sunflower oil, for example, in the kitchen cabinet, and not leave it on the table or windowsill.
Step 3
Keep an eye on the expiration date of the oil. It will be safer to throw away a barely opened bottle than to use sunflower oil, in which harmful oxides have already formed. But even a recently made product is best used within three to four weeks after opening the package, after which most of the nutrients in sunflower oil lose their properties.
Step 4
Use a fresh serving of oil for every new meal. It is important to store this product only in packaging or specially suitable glass bottles. If you leave it in a skillet and re-cook other foods in it, carcinogens will form in sunflower oil that can cause serious diseases such as cancer.
