Safflower is a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual plant. It is commercially cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds. Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. Each branch will usually have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. Safflower is native to arid environments having seasonal rain.

There are two types of safflower that produce different kinds of oil:

1. High in monounsaturated fatty acid (oleic acid): High Smoking Point
2. High in polyunsaturated fatty acid (linoleic acid): Low Smoking Point

Safflower seed oil is flavorless and colorless, and nutritionally similar to sunflower oil.
