Oil pressed from the seeds of a safflower, also called saffron thistle and bastard saffron. This flavorless, colorless, cholesterol-free oil is good for deep-frying because it has a high smoke point. It is also popular for use in salad dressing because it does not solidify when it is cold. Safflower oil can be used interchangeably with other vegetable oils, including sunflower, soy bean, olive, corn, and canola.
