safflower vs sunflower oil

safflower vs sunflower oil

Most people do not appreciate that plants provide many important oils, i.e., triglycerides. In modern kitchens, corn oil (Zea mays) as a liquid or solid (margarine), is a ubiquitous vegetable oil, but also in the kitchen one can usually find oils from olive (Olea europaea), soybean (Glycine max), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), and safflower (Carthamus tinctorius). In bathrooms one can find shampoos, soaps, and creams containing vegetable oils and their derivatives, e.g., the coconut (Cocos nucifera) and other palm oils. Even medicines sometimes have oil-based components. In the garage one finds paints and special lubricants that have oils from cotton (Gossypium), soybean, castor bean (Ricinus communis), sunflower, safflower, and linseed (flax, Linum usitatissimum).Many of the characteristics noted for sunflower also apply to safflower, which is another species of the Asteraceae (sunflower family). Like sunflower oil, safflower oil is polyunsaturated and therefore is useful in lessening the threat of human arteriosclerosis. It is also an annual crop, usually less than one meter tall, and it can be mechanically harvested. Forms up to two meters in height are common in the Turko-Afghanistan region.
