Does anyone know what unrefined sunflower oil tastes like, and if it

would be good in mayonnaise?

I don't have any sunflower on hand to tell you if what I used was

unrefined. But I have done a mix of sunflower and expeller pressed

coconut oils, and the mayo was very tasty.

Keep in mind that the very process of extracting oil in

" refining " in the most technical sense of the word. What you're

looking for is oil which is extracted without chemical

processing.

So it doesn't necessarily make too much difference healthwise if an oil is virgin or not, since that's just if it was the first or second or etc... round of oil pressed out of whatever. I just have to make sure it's extracted without heat and chemicals and not further heated or chemically treated after it's extracted.

Hi Alyssa,

I read this a while ago and thought I would forward you the link:

http://scdgirl.blogspot.com/2009/12/omega-6-fats.html

Since reading this I have tossed out bottles of sunflower oil (which I thought

tasted best in mayo btw) and safflower oil. Kaitlyn does not eat mayo anymore

so I don't need to make it for now ;-) I wonder how the refined coconut oil

would taste!? I have been using butter and coconut oil only lately when making

her eggs and pancakes.

Have a super day!
