Commonly used as a more mild substitute for saffron, safflower adds a bright yellow color to foods and teas. Rich in calcium, magnesium, folate, phosphorous and fatty acids, safflower has been used as an aid for some cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive conditions. When added to foods or tea blends, safflower petals offer a delicately earthy and floral taste.
