Organic High Oleic Safflower Oil

Organic high oleic safflower oil is a cooking oil made from safflower seeds grown using organic farming methods. The 'high oleic' designation means the oil has a high concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids, specifically oleic acid. It is produced through pressing the seeds and then refining the oil.

Manufacturers use high oleic safflower oil for its neutral flavor, high smoke point, and stability, making it suitable for frying, baking, and salad dressings. It is often found in packaged foods like crackers, cookies, and baked goods, as well as in cooking oil blends.

High oleic safflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated edible oils. Evidence suggests that diets rich in monounsaturated fats can be part of a heart-healthy eating pattern.
