عصفر

Safflower is an annual plant in the sunflower family that is highly branched, herbaceous, and thistle-like. It is commercially grown for the vegetable oil extracted from the seeds and was used as a substitute for saffron by the early Spanish colonies. Unsaturated fatty acids are beneficial fats found in safflower. When consumed in moderation, it may provide health benefits such as blood sugar control, improved heart health, and lower inflammation levels. It can be applied topically to dry skin and is safe to use when cooking at high temperatures.
