Trader Joe’s High-Oleic Organic Sunflower Oil
I normally use a good deal of olive oil for cooking. However there are times when you want, or a recipe specifies, to use a “neutral flavored oil”. Meaning you shouldnt use olive oil which has a distinct flavor. In this case the oil I use is this TJ’s Organic Sunflower Oil. It’s a very good neutral vegetable oil, in fact, it’s a fine all-around cooking oil. Basically whenever I am not using olive oil, I’m using this sunflower oil. For example it’s what I use when I am making a Chinese or other Asian dish which always specify a “neutral” vegetable oil that won’t affect the other flavors in the dish. Plus Sunflower Oil is good for high heat, good for Wok cooking. I had to look up “high-oleic”. But this sunflower oil is High Oleic means its quite healthy too, maybe even more than olive oil. And this oil is ORGANIC. TJ’s Organic Sunflower Oil is quite reasonable at $3.99 for a 33.8 oz bottle, which is of course far less than olive oil. So you probably want this as your “other” oil, like me. I would buy this again.
UPDATE: (Jun. 2022) Product seems to be M.I.A. Possibly either a supply chain issue and hopefully not discontinued.

We just love your Sunflower oil. It’s so healthy and adds just the perfect flavor to our dishes.
Our nearest Trade Joe’s just advised me that it will not be coming in anymore.
Please, please, please, reconsider. This oil is so much healthier than Canola and others.
We are in Huntersville, NC and our nearest store is off of Prosperity Church Rd and near I85.
Thank you❤

I’ll have to ask at my local (TJ’s) store next time I go, but I was able to find high oleic sunflower oil at Sprouts. Pretty sure it costs more, but I’m trying to stay away from industrial seed oils and all the other bad oils (canola, etc.). My understanding is the high oleic makes it healthy as opposed to a ‘standard’ processed sunflower oil. Different makup of polyunsaturated vs monounsaturated fats. It’s great when you need a neutral flavored oil and it can take high heat. (I don’t like the flavor of avocado oil, personally.)

Recent employee stated no longer carrying sunflower oil.. so sad.
Found a 48z bottle at kroger for 6.99. Same oil description.
Tj 32z mayo disappeared. Only mayo i could find not made with soy oil. Now using Chosen Avocado mayo from Costco..best price.

I’ve been purchasing Trader Joe’s organic sunflower oil for a while. I usually purchase multiple bottles as the store is distant from where I live and store them in the fridge. After being in the fridge for a while there used to be slight solidification of the oil (oleic acid has a solidification temperature of 13-14 C / 55-57 F). Now all the bottles I purchase remain completely liquid after being in the fridge. This gives me reason to suspect that the oleic content is minimal or non-existant. I’d appreciate feedback on this. Anyone?
