<p> Safflower seeds are high in fat, protein, and fiber. In addition to preventing hardening of the arteries, safflower seeds contain linolenic and linoleic acids that lower cholesterol and lower heart disease risk. Safflower contains chemicals that may thin the blood to prevent clots, widen blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and stimulate the heart.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to buy</h2>



<p>In the USA, it&#8217;s only available as bird food :), so you probably wouldn&#8217;t want to consume that instead, you can buy it from Ethiopian stores near you or buy it online by clicking <a href="https://www.navafresh.com/products/srisatymev-safflower-seed-2kg-kusum-beej-kharad" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> since I found only an online store that sells it for human consumption. (I am not affiliated with the vendor)</p>
