  • Where does safflower oil come from?
  • Safflower oil comes from the seeds of the safflower plant ¨C Carthamus tinctorius. Traditionally cultivated as a dye crop because of its colorful flowers, most industrial cultivation now focuses solely on the oily seeds.
  • Why do safflower seeds need to be hulled?
  • The separation of hulls is essential as they contain less oil compared to the seeds. By removing the hulls, the efficiency of the oil extraction process is increased, leading to a higher yield of safflower oil. After hulling, the seeds are subjected to flaking, where high heat and pressure are applied to roll them into thin sheets.
  • How has safflower evolved?
  • Safflower has evolved a lot from its beginnings thousands of years ago as a source of textile dyes and cosmetic pigments. Today's efficient mechanized agriculture and processing innovations allow manufacturers to derive versatile culinary oils from safflower seeds through solvent extraction.
  • Which countries produce the most safflower oil?
  • Still in research phases. Modern agricultural practices focus exclusively on maximizing seed oil yield in safflower rather than harvesting flowers or other plant components. Argentina currently leads global production followed by Mexico, the United States, Ethiopia and Kazakhstan as top producers.
