Safflower Oil

Safflower Oil

Safflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius), a thistle-like flowering plant native to Asia and Africa. The oil is known for its light texture, mild flavor, and high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking, especially in frying and high-heat applications. Safflower oil is a popular ingredient in culinary practices for salad dressings, cooking oils, and margarine. It is also highly valued for its health benefits, particularly its high content of unsaturated fats and antioxidants.
