Cold Pressed Safflower Oil
If you want a specialized yet most healthy oil for deep frying, then wood pressed safflower oil is the answer. This cold pressed oil has a very high smoking point of around 270 degree Celsius. And at the same time, safflower oils is considered as neutral oil, meaning this oil wonāt overpower the flavor or aroma of your recipe. This oils is ideal choice for your baking recipes as well.
Safflower seeds are having very hard shell and few oil manufacturers use them as it is in expeller press machine for extracting the oil. Along with degrading the oil quality due to heating in expeller, it also brings in more impurities of the shell. This impurities in the oil causes excessive foaming of cold pressed safflower oil when heated for deep frying.
Itās always advisable to first decorticate the safflower seeds and then use them in wooden cold press i.e. lakdi ghani machine for oil extraction. The oil yield is less in safflower seeds, requiring almost ~3.5kg of de-hulled safflower seeds for a 1 ltr wood pressed safflower oil i.e. kardi or kardai oil. The overall cost also gets increased due to de-hulling and then pressing.
