In addition to being smoked, Safflower petals and stamens can be steeped as tea, employed in infusions, or used as a spice. In addition to a deep, earthy floral taste, it has been said to increase circulation and have anti-inflammatory properties. For that reason it is commonly used as pain relief for muscle and menstrual cramping. Safflower oil can be irritating to the lungs. For that reason, we recommend using this herb as no more than 15% of your smoking blend.

Olivia ★★★★★

I mixed a pinch of the stamens into my evening tea and the floral, earthy depth really came through—much more interesting than plain chamomile. The petals also burn nicely and evenly when smoked, which was a pleasant surprise.

Scarlett ★★★★★

Steeped a cup of the petals in hot water last night and the earthy floral taste was surprisingly smooth, not bitter at all. I’ve also sprinkled a pinch over roasted vegetables for a subtle spice kick. Definitely a versatile herb I’ll keep using.

Samuel X. ★★★★★

I've been using these safflower petals as a tea base and the earthy floral taste is really unique, plus it's nice knowing I can also smoke or cook with them. The bag was packed fresh and the flavor comes through strong even after a few steeps.
