Is the organic high oleic sunflower oil used in Rudis products refined or cold pressed? Why?
High oleic sunflower oil is free of trans fats and high in monounsaturated fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol, thus reducing the risk for heart disease. Rudi’s Organic Bakery uses cold pressed high oleic sunflower oil because less nutrients are lost in the cold pressed extraction of the oil. Cold pressed organic high oleic sunflower oil also adds a wonderful flavor to our products.
