Exhaustive Guide To Safflower Oil for Cooking

By John Stones

When you overheat cooking oil, it destroys beneficial compounds and creates harmful free radicals. Those free radicals can damage molecules in your body. That's why it's important to use oils with a high smoking point when you're cooking at high temperatures.If you're looking for a cooking oil that's suitable for high heat, safflower oil may be the right choice for you. It has a higher smoke point than corn oil, canola oil, olive oil, sesame oil, and many other alternatives. It also has a neutral flavor, making it an ideal choice for many recipes.Safflower is a tall plant with spiked leaves and yellow or orange flowers. The flowers were used as a dye for clothing in ancient Egypt. Today, some people use safflower petals as a substitute for saffron, a yellow spice that's often used to color and flavor rice dishes. Safflower seeds are also used to produce safflower oil.
