Tandur's Safflower Heritage

Nestled in the heart of Telangana, Tandur stands as India's premier safflower cultivation region. Here, where the climate is perfect and the black cotton soil is rich, our farming partners have been growing vibrant safflower crops for generations. Known locally as "Kusuma", these brilliant orange-red flowers transform vast fields into breathtaking golden landscapes each harvest season.

Tandur's unique geographical advantage—moderate rainfall, warm temperatures, and excellent drainage—creates ideal conditions for cultivating high-linoleic safflower, the variety prized for its exceptional health benefits. Our farmers here practice rain-fed agriculture, working in harmony with nature's rhythms to produce safflower seeds with the highest oil content and purity.

Each safflower seed is carefully harvested at peak maturity when the oil content is at its maximum. Our farmers use traditional threshing methods combined with modern quality control to ensure only the finest seeds make it to our cold-pressing facility. The result is pure, heart-healthy oil rich in omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and natural antioxidants.

The cold-pressed extraction process we employ preserves every beneficial compound found in these precious seeds. Unlike refined oils that lose their nutritional value through heat processing, our safflower oil retains its light color, mild flavor, and most importantly, its cholesterol-lowering properties. With one of the highest smoke points among cooking oils, it's perfect for Indian cooking while supporting cardiovascular health.

When you choose Nakulya safflower oil, you're supporting the dedicated farmers of Tandur who maintain sustainable farming practices, preserve traditional agricultural knowledge, and contribute to India's wellness revolution. Each bottle carries the essence of Telangana's golden fields and generations of farming expertise.
