Safflower Oil |
|
An oil, made from the seeds of safflowers, which is clear and mostly flavorless. It is high in polyunsaturated fats and is a popular oil to use in salad dressings, because it does not solidify when chilled. It also has a high smoke point, making it good for deep-fat frying. Safflower oil is nutritionaly valued because of its Omega-3 content, which has been shown to have positive health effects.
