Oil, safflower

Safflower oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant. The figures describe the oil itself, which mainly provides fat and energy, along with vitamin E. Per 100g, it contains 100g of fat, including 9.7g of saturated fat, and provides 3696 kJ of energy and 41mg of vitamin E.

Fat helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins, while vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage. Safflower oil is concentrated in energy, so the amount used is relevant for people monitoring their energy intake. Its saturated fat content also contributes to total saturated fat intake.
