So, what is cartamo?
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), commonly known as cartamo, is a highly versatile plant with a range of culinary and medicinal uses. The plant's vibrant orange or yellow flowers yield a highly nutritious oil that is rich in omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamin E, and antioxidants. In addition to its use in cooking, cartamo oil is also used in skincare and haircare products for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. The plant's dried petals can be brewed into a flavorful and aromatic tea, while its leaves and seeds are used in traditional medicine for treating digestive and respiratory ailments. With its numerous health benefits and diverse applications, cartamo is a valuable ingredient in any kitchen or apothecary.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
