Q. What makes safflower oil different from other cooking oils?
A. Unlike refined or heavily processed oils, safflower oil is naturally extracted from safflower seeds and is rich in unsaturated fats. It has a neutral taste, making it incredibly versatile for everyday cooking. Plus, it doesn’t interfere with the original flavour of your food—just enhances it!
Q. Is safflower oil good for heart health?
A. Yes, it’s considered one of the heart-friendliest oils. Thanks to its high monounsaturated fat content (MUFA) and linoleic acid (omega-6), safflower oil helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and improve good cholesterol (HDL), reducing the risk of heart diseases when included as part of a balanced diet.
Q. Can I use it for deep frying and high-heat cooking?
A. Definitely. Safflower oil has a high smoke point—around 232°C (450°F)—which means it doesn’t break down or turn toxic at high temperatures. Whether you’re deep-frying pakoras or doing a spicy tadka, it holds up without compromising your health.
Q. Is safflower oil suitable for Indian kitchens and daily meals?
A. Absolutely! It blends beautifully into traditional Indian cooking—be it for poha, sabzi, roti, or even sweets. Since it’s light and non-greasy, your meals remain flavourful without feeling too oily or heavy.
Q. Is it safe and beneficial for kids and elderly people?
A. Yes, safflower oil is gentle on the stomach and easy to digest, which makes it safe for kids and elders alike. It’s also naturally rich in Vitamin E, which supports healthy skin, better immunity, and overall cellular health.
Q. How is Anveshan’s safflower oil different from store-bought ones?
A. Anveshan’s safflower oil is cold-pressed and chemical-free. We source our seeds directly from small-scale farmers and use traditional wooden presses to retain the oil’s nutrients. It’s unrefined, untouched by heat or solvents—just pure, farm-fresh oil.
Q. Does safflower oil help with weight management?
A. When used in moderation, yes. Its healthy fat profile helps regulate metabolism and supports fat breakdown. It also keeps you feeling full longer, helping reduce unnecessary snacking or overeating.
Q. How should I store safflower oil at home?
A. Keep it in an airtight bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed—just store it like you would ghee or mustard oil.
Q. Can it be used for skincare or hair care?
A. Though primarily a cooking oil, safflower oil’s natural Vitamin E and anti-inflammatory properties make it a gentle option for skin hydration and scalp nourishment. It’s especially great for dry or sensitive skin.
Q. Is it better than refined oils and blends available in the market?
A. Yes—by a long shot. Refined oils are stripped of their nutrients through high-heat processing and chemical treatments. Anveshan’s cold-pressed safflower oil is unrefined and nutrient-rich, making it a much healthier and safer everyday choice for your family.
