Safflower
Safflower is an incompletely specified food ingredient that may mean the plant, seeds or flower material, with its use depending on the part and processing.
About Safflower
Safflower is a crop whose food ingredients can include its seeds and flower parts, but the unqualified name does not identify which part is intended. It may refer to the plant, seed, or a food product made from it. No species, cultivar, or processing state is supplied, so a more specific ingredient cannot be assumed.
Safflower is encountered in foods in different forms, including seed-derived ingredients and flower material, with uses and sensory properties depending on the part. The label alone does not establish whether it is whole, dried, milled, or processed into oil. The exact plant part and form should be identified from product context.
