Safflower Seed

Although Safflower was originally used as a dye, it has recently been used for a health supplement, and now safflower seeds are even used as birdseed.  Safflower is grown mostly for its oil, but the it is also grown popularly for its seeds. Safflower seeds need the temperature of the soil they are in to be higher than forty degrees Celsius before germinating.  This is pretty important because it if germination doesn't occur under forty degree Celsius, then it restricts the amounts of places where Safflower can grow. Safflower will not grow in a cold climate.
Safflower seeds are very small and usually white or tinted brown. Safflower seed is incorporated into birdseed. It doesn't totally replace it. If you are familiar with bird seed, you will know that there are multiple types of seeds in it varying in size and quantity. Safflower seed is one of the bigger seed in birdseed and simply replaces one of the other seeds.  It is also a common belief that squirrels do not like safflower seed, which will help the birds consume the birdseed without you having to worry about squirrels. This is the major reason why safflower seeds have begun to be incorporated in birdseed.
