As summer approaches, the season for harvesting the safflower that was sown in spring arrives. In the past, safflower was an essential plant for daily life. It was used as a dye, as an edible oil, and when the dried petals were infused, it was used as a herbal medicine for women, as it was said to improve blood circulation.
Safflower is an annual plant of the Asteraceae family. It has been actively cultivated in Yamagata Prefecture as a major production area since the Edo period.
