Golden Purity. Nutrient-Rich
Didwaniya Group supplies high-quality safflower oil sourced from the fertile regions of Russia and Ukraine. Known for its light texture and high linoleic acid content, our safflower oil is carefully cold-pressed and refined to preserve its natural nutritional value, making it ideal for culinary, cosmetic, and industrial applications worldwide.
Safflower oil is a light, versatile edible oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius), a thistle-like annual herb. The oil is pale yellow with a neutral flavor, allowing it to blend seamlessly into a wide variety of dishes without overpowering other ingredients. Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, safflower oil is valued for its health benefits, including promoting heart health and supporting healthy cholesterol levels.
Cultivated primarily in Russia, Ukraine, India, Mexico, and parts of the Middle East, safflower has a long history as both a cooking ingredient and a source of natural dye from its flowers. In Russia and Ukraine, the cool, fertile plains provide optimal growing conditions, yielding oil-rich seeds that meet the high purity standards demanded by the global market.
