The safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a member of the Asteraceae family, or sunflower family.
This thistle-like plant is native to places such as China, India, Iran, and Egypt. However, it is cultivated all over the world, including in North America - mainly for its oil, though it's used as animal feed as well.
Safflower Oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant.
Two varieties of Safflower Oil are available: high-linoleic and high-oleic. High-linoleic Safflower Oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, while high-oleic Safflower Oil contains more monounsaturated fats.
The more common type of Safflower Oil on the market is the high-oleic kind. It is used as a heat-stable cooking oil, especially for fried foods like french fries and chips.
