Safflower oil

Safflower oil

This flavorless, colourless oil is expressed from the seeds of the safflower, also called saffron thistle or bastard saffron. It contains more polyunsaturates than any other oil, has a high smoke point (which makes it good for deep-frying) and is favoured for salad dressings because it doesn't solidify when chilled. See also fats and oils.
