Location
Safflower seed is a plant cultivated in many parts of the world, primarily for oil production. Known for its drought resistance and wide range of applications, safflower is an annual plant gaining popularity in Turkey due to its suitability for cultivation in less fertile areas. With its high content of fatty acids, safflower seed is a valuable product for both nutrition and industry.
Nutritional Value and Benefits
Safflower seed contains 30-40% oil, rich in oleic and linoleic acids. It is considered a healthy source of fat due to its unsaturated fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health. Additionally, it is rich in vitamin E, providing benefits such as strengthening the immune system and supporting skin health.
Cultivation and Farming
Safflower is known for its low water requirements and suitability for arid regions. This characteristic makes it a viable alternative crop in areas with limited water resources. It grows well in calcareous, sandy, and moderately fertile soils. Typically sown in spring, the plant is highly resistant to high temperatures. Safflower also enriches the soil, making it a preferred choice for crop rotation practices.
