It has been a crop in Mesopotamia since 2500 BCE. Burnt flowers were used in ancient Egyptian cosmetics and dried flowers were hung in the tombs of the pharaohs. It was introduced into China 2000 years BCE and is still used in traditional Chinese medicine today. For hundreds of years it has been used as a substitute for saffron, as its perfume and flavor are very similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to dye with safflower petals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake sure your fiber or fabric has been properly scoured before use.

Add mordanted fabric or fiber, simmer a further 45 minutes and leave to cool. Leave overnight for stronger colors. An iron sulphate modifier after dyeing gives mustard and olive greens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak the petals further in cold water, discarding the water each time, until very little yellow is extracted.
