What is oleic safflower oil?

Q: What is oleic safflower oil?

Safflower oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant . It's generally used in cooking and frying at high temperature. While high linoleic safflower oil is rich in polyunsaturated fats, high oleic safflower oil contains more monounsaturated fats. The latter is also the more common type of safflower oil available on the market. High oleic safflower oil has a higher smoke point than other common cooking oils such as canola or corn. The higher smoke point is beneficial because of a reduced risk of toxic fumes when oils are heated to a high temperature for frying or sautéing. One tablespoon of safflower oil contains 14 grams of fat and 124 calories. It contains a high vitamin E content (32% of daily value), but no other nutrients.

Price

I went to the grocery store yesterday to check the price of these gluten-free crackers.

The box is light at only 3.5 ounces (100g). But, the crackers are also quite light (31g per serving) so the number of servings per box is comparable to other packaged crackers.

The current price in south Florida is $4.21. There are 100 grams in a container. At 31 grams per serving, there are approximately 3.2 servings per box. That works out to $1.31 per serving.

The current price at our local Publix is $4.21 per box.
