Safflower Oil – Cold-Pressed & Refined Grades for Health-Conscious Applications

Product Overview

Safflower Oil is a light, odorless, and nutritionally rich edible oil obtained from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). Known for its high linoleic and oleic acid content, it promotes cardiovascular health and serves as a superior choice for light cooking, salad dressings, and health-oriented food formulations. With its clean taste and smooth texture, safflower oil is increasingly used in both culinary and industrial applications.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply cold-pressed, refined, and high-oleic Safflower Oil sourced from trusted producers operating under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Our oils are carefully processed to retain natural nutrients, deliver oxidative stability, and ensure consistent performance in bulk industrial use or private-label bottling.
