safflower
Orange-flowered oilseed plant
Safflower is a thistle-like plant with orange or yellow flowers, cultivated mainly for its seeds.
Safflower oil, extracted from those seeds, is a cooking oil valued for its neutral flavor and high smoke point.
The flowers yield dyes ranging from yellow to red, historically used as a cheaper substitute for saffron in coloring food and textiles.
