What it is
These are almonds that have been dry-roasted and then coated with safflower oil. Safflower oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant, which is native to Asia and has been cultivated for centuries.
Why it's used
Safflower oil is used in roasted nuts to add a smooth texture and prevent sticking. It can also act as a carrier for added flavors or seasonings. It is commonly found in snack mixes, nut butters, and baked goods.
Health notes
Almonds are a source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamin E. Safflower oil is primarily composed of unsaturated fats, including omega-6 fatty acids. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider almonds and safflower oil to be safe for consumption. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for their intended use, excessive intake of any fat should be balanced within a healthy diet.
