Safflower Oil
Safflower oil is a light, neutral-tasting vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). Known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, safflower oil is widely used in cooking, baking, and frying. It is a rich source of unsaturated fats, particularly linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), and vitamin E, which contribute to its benefits for heart health, skin care, and overall wellness. Safflower oil is often favored for high-heat cooking due to its ability to withstand high temperatures without breaking down, making it ideal for stir-frying, sautéing, and deep-frying.
