The difference between these types of oils was discussed by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova .
1. One tablespoon of sunflower and olive oil contains approximately the same amount of fat. The difference is that olive oil contains more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
2. Sunflower oil is a better source of vitamin E than olive oil. Sunflower oil also contains vitamin K.

3. Olive oil can be used in the diet of those who follow the Mediterranean diet.
This eating plan involves reducing red meat consumption and increasing nuts, vegetables, legumes and fish.
4. And the final point: the difference between olive and sunflower oil is the price.
