What it is
Safflower is a flowering plant grown for its seeds and oil. The seeds are pressed to extract safflower oil, which is 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. It is valued for its neutral flavor and high smoke point.
Health notes
Safflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). JECFA has evaluated safflower oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Safflower is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
