Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) also call HONG HUA in China, is an annual, broadleaf oilseed crop adapted chiefly to the small-grain production areas of the western Great Plains. Safflower was originally grown for the flowers that were used in making red and yellow dyes for clothing and food preparation. Today this crop supplies oil, meal, birdseed, and foots (residue from oil processing) for the food and industrial products markets, although this crop is now primarily grown for the oil. Safflower has a rich sweet aroma that can hold up to cooking. Its flavor is mild and has been described as having notes in common with the flavors of chocolate and tobacco.
