We cut a couple heads off the kids sunflowers before the birds had a buffet. These things are a PITA.

picked those evil seeds off

they soaked in salt water overnight

roasted 45 mins on 350 ready to eat. Hope this helps if someone wants to start raising them.

We had quite a few of those this year I just finally got to where the end rot stopped by using the liquid calcium and next year I may put that calcium lime on them. I am still getting yellow maters. I didn't cut them down this week.

I used to grow my own for Tim our Cockatoo . I just laid them in the sun with a cheese cloth over them and the birds left them alone . They came out quite easily when they dried .
I love the sunflower itself they are beautiful ,not a big fan of the seeds anymore but ate tons of bags as a kid when we would go camping . I like pumpkin seed once and a while now .
