Botanical Identity
Safflower belongs to the Asteraceae family. Kew’s Plants of the World Online accepts the botanical name Carthamus tinctorius L.
Carthamus tinctorius seeds are commercially described as seeds, although the whole material with its outer hull is botanically a fruit known as an achene. This page covers whole safflower seeds supplied with their hulls.
Botanical information is available from Kew’s Plants of the World Online.

Applications
Safflower is an oilseed crop. Whole seeds may be purchased for oil pressing or extraction, with suitability assessed against the processor’s requirements.
Safflower seeds are also used in bird-feed products. Manufacturers and distributors can specify requirements for seed size, cleanliness, moisture and packaging when sourcing material for blending or repacking.
For planting inquiries, buyers should state their germination and certification requirements so that availability can be assessed separately.
