Oils are used with spiced butter, Niter Kibbeh in Ethiopian cuisine for a rich, full flavor. Use the best oil, organic and unrefined.
Flavor and color vary depending on the processing, region, and quality of fruit. Oils that say "product of" are grown and produced in that country. "Produced in" are oils used from multiple countries. Although the most expensive, I always use extra-virgin for everything because I'm worth it!
Safflower oil is pressed from the seeds of the safflower plant, a thistle-like member of the sunflower family. A light, all-purpose oil that is nearly tasteless. Excellent for frying.
A pale, bland-tasting oil very similar to safflower oil but harder to find. Use for salad dressings, cooking, and frying.
