Sunflowers have a large flower head, usually with a large, almost black central part which is made up of thousands of tiny florets that later become seeds set in a spiral pattern. The petals are typically bright yellow, although some varieties are orange or red. Its stem is rough and hairy while the leaves large and rough with coarse jagged edges.

The chief interest in edible safflower oil lies in the fact that it contains about 75% linoleic acid, with total unsaturated acids of about 94%.
The anti oxidant used in edible safflower oil is 0.01% propyl gallate, 0.005% citric acid. This has been found effective for stabilization against rancidity.
A number of medical research organizations have reported that the principle ingredient of edible safflower oil, linoleic glyceride, is beneficial in controlling or perhaps preventing arteriosclerosis.
