Sunflower Oil: At Shakthi GTC, we export only the finest refined sunflower oil, offering a wide range of healthy, flavorful, and nutritious options. Sunflower oil, derived from the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus), is one of the most widely used cooking oils due to its neutral flavor, high smoke point, and versatile uses in the kitchen.
The production of sunflower oil involves extracting oil from cleaned and dehulled sunflower seeds, which are then mechanically pressed.
