BioconColors Carthamidin | Safflower

Safflower (Carthamus) is one of humanity’s oldest crops with its use in China reported over 2,200 years ago. Safflower belongs to the Compositae or Asteraceae family, which is a branching, thistlelike herbaceous plant with spines on its leaves and bracts. Safflower is a common substitute for saffron due to its more favorable price. Safflower is therefore widely known as false saffron.
