SAFFLOWER
Safflower, also called wild saffron or cartamo, is an oilseed from which its oil is extracted for human consumption, where a large part of that crop is used for bird consumption.
It is native to India but its cultivation extends to some regions of the Middle East, America and Africa. It is a plant that adapts to low fertile soils, different climates and arid conditions. This makes it a very adaptable crop.
At the time of harvest, each flower produces about 15 to 30 seeds, which are protected by a shell that prevents from the attack of birds.
Safflower is a highly prized seed in bird mixes for its high oil content and for contributing with color to the final mixture.
