Incidentally it seems like sunflower, safflower and soybean oils are way more common in packaged products now, higher in omega-6, presumably as a sub for palm oil. Canola has a more ideal composition among the common vegetable oils in packaged products.
- LarsAlereon 3y agoOne note is that most of the crops grown for seed oil are "high oleic" varieties that produce a fat makeup more similar to Canola oil than you'd previously see for those crops.
- slothtrop 3y agoMany, but notwithstanding crops, they will be identified as such in the package ingredients. Anecdotally, I still see bog standard sunflower oil more often than the high-oleic variant.
