What is high monounsaturated oil?
’High monounsaturated’ refers to the makeup of the oil itself, or what is known as the ‘fatty acid profile.’ The fatty acid profile of an oil is the ratio of the three kinds of fat that all edible oils contain: saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. Oils from different sources have different fatty acid profiles. For example, the fatty acid profile of cottonseed oil is very different from olive oil. The oil that we use exclusively for all Kettle™ brand products is specifically ‘high monounsaturated’ safflower or sunflower oil. Its fatty acid profile is naturally very high in monounsaturated fat, much higher than the bottled safflower or sunflower oil commonly found on supermarket shelves that does not carry the specific designation ‘high monounsaturated.
