safflower seeds

Finch feeder fill

Safflower seeds are the small, oil-rich seeds of the safflower plant, used primarily for bird feed and to produce cooking oil.

The seeds have hard white shells and are a favorite of cardinals and other large-billed birds: I switched to safflower seeds because squirrels don't like them.

Safflower oil, pressed from the seeds, is valued for its neutral flavor and high smoke point.
