What it is

Safflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). The seeds are typically pressed to extract the oil, which is then refined for use in food.

Why it's used

Safflower oil is used as a cooking oil and as an ingredient in salad dressings, baked goods, and snack foods. Its neutral flavor and high smoke point make it versatile for various culinary applications, including frying and baking.

Health notes

Safflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily composed of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have not established a tolerable upper intake level for safflower oil. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated safflower oil and its components.

Allergen info

Safflower oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
