(Carthamnus tinctorius)

SAFFLOWER is a small, white nutritious seed that is high in protein and fat. Safflower is a commonly-used base oil due to its high protein, mineral and vitamin content.

Safflower seeds are also high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and contain moderate levels of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids, helping reduce cholesterol and playing a critical role in prevention of coronary artery disease.

We grow Safflower linoleic and hioleic types. Our crops are harvested in November.
