Flora uses only certified organic seeds and utilizes a special press to extract oil at low temperatures (95 - 105 degrees), yielding just a few quarts per hour. Their atmosphere control system keeps the oil free from exposure to light and oxygen. Unfiltered, retaining all the nutrients, and bottled in amber glass, this delicate oil is the purest you can find.
Q. Is it organic?
A. Yes
Q. Is this oil filtered or heat processed?
A. No. The sunflower oil is unfiltered and pure.
Q. There is a slight cloudiness at the bottom of the jar. Is it bad?
A. Because the sunflower oil is organic and unrefined, a bit of cloudiness is both natural and expected.
Q. Should it be refrigerated? What is the shelf life?
A. There is no need to refrigerate. However, it should be kept away from heat or direct sunlight. Sunflower Oil has a 12 month shelf life while unopened. Once opened and for optimum freshness, we recommend that it be used within 5 months while kept refrigerated.
Q. How much should I use?
A. The suggested amount is 1 tbsp per serving.
