Don't they know about sunflower oil? You don't fry bacon in sheep lard.

Roasting sunflower seeds in sunflower oil. It sounds cannibalistic.
The real reason is that cottonseed oil is cheap.

Sunflower seeds are roasted in cottonseed oil on account that cottonseed oil is cheap, cheap stuff, practically a with the support of-manufactured from cotton-making. In many occasions you uncover peanuts that don't seem to be roasted in peanut oil each--same difference--the company determined anything extra fee-robust to make use of.

Sunflower seeds are roasted in cottonseed oil because cottonseed oil is cheap, cheap stuff, basically a by-product of cotton-making.
Sometimes you find peanuts that are not roasted in peanut oil either--same difference--the manufacturer found something cheaper to use.

I'm not really sure. Perhaps cottonseed yields more oil than sunflower oil so it's cheaper?
Either way, I don't use sunflower or cottonseed oil. They weren't grown as a food crop, so they have insecticides and chemicals in them. I use olive, peanut, corn, or canola oil.

That's funny! But it might be that cottonseed oil is healthier. I'm not sure.
