Safflower (saflor or thistle) is an old cultivated herb. It was used mainly in folk medicine. It is a thorny plant up to a metre high with yellow flowers found in steppes and semi-steppes. It is used for the production of yellow dye and oil is extracted from it, which is cold-pressed and has a mild nutty taste. It is excellent as a flavouring agent but is not suitable for frying or baking.
Safflower is also known as ‚false‘ or ‚Turkish saffron‘. It is used for nutrition in a similar way to sunflower oil. However, it contains more linoleic acid – up to 80% (a higher omega-6 fatty acid), which the human body cannot produce. A lack of it can cause dryness and hair loss and poor wound healing. Safflower has been used by the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. In some countries it is used as a spice and in Belgium it is added to beer. Oil from safflower seeds is one of the finest edible oils. Its unsaturated fatty acid values are high above even the finest olive oils. 100g of oil contains up to 45 mg of vitamin E. It does not contain cholesterol.
