Safflower is an annual broadleaf plant in the aster family that produces rounded yellow or reddish-orange flower heads and rosettes of branched leaves, like a thistle. It is one of the oldest known crops, with a history of cultivation dating to ancient Egypt.
Safflower, especially the flower, is sometimes used in cooking as a substitute for saffron, which is why it is also known as bastard saffron.
Safflower tea offers a mild, slightly earthy flavor with delicate floral notes, making it both soothing and versatile. Made from the petals of Carthamus tinctorius, this herbal tea has been valued for centuries across cultures for its calming qualities and its natural antioxidant content.
