FINAL PROCESS AREA
Safflower, also called dyer’s safflower, is one of the oldest cultivated plants, and only survives in the cultivated state. It originated in the Middle East and quickly spread to the ancient world and the Orient. It was mainly exploited for the dyeing properties of its flowers, producing a red pigment used for textiles and a yellow pigmentsoluble in water used in food. Its oil was also known and appreciated from that time.
Originally from arid areas, it requires little water and is very resistant to drought. It has roots on a central pivot which can reach depths of 3 m. Sown in spring, the plant has a short cycle, it is suitable for all types of soil.
