Corn oil is a source of polyunsaturated fats, which is beneficial by not raising cholesterol levels. It is a food that is a good antioxidant due to its high content of vitamin E. Corn oil is very moisturizing for hair and skin.
Corn oil is very popular thanks to its high level of preservation, which prevents it from taking bitterness over time, and for its ability to enhance the flavor of the foods with which it is mixed.
