About Safflower oil

Safflower oil is a pressed edible oil obtained from safflower seeds. It is a clear, pale yellow liquid with a mild, neutral flavour, though colour and flavour can vary with refining and processing. Refined and less-refined oils are both sold for culinary use.

It is used in dressings, cooking and baking. Products can differ in refining and fatty-acid profile, including high-oleic and conventional types; these are distinct oil varieties and may behave differently in cooking. The label is needed to identify the specific type.
