You can take the stalks when cut, remove the exterior fibrous sheets to make cordage. Remove the inner pith, let dry, then grind fine to make a flour that has a taste similiar to buckwheat.

I have eaten sunflowers in a variety of ways and i love them. I always pick some young, green leaves, chop them up and add them to my stews. Never use too many at a time though, mix them up with other greens. Find you get the best results and flavors like that. I've fried young, developed sunflower heads (unfortunately you picked yours much too late). The seeds still need to be white without a hard outer shell. Cut them in strips, grill or fry them and, yes, eat them with a dip or relish. I've also cut up and eaten some sunflower stalks. They were growing in a pot and weren't very big. I removed the sunflowers before they were fully developed (i had planted too many and was thinning them out). Sauted the stalks (the upper not so fibrous parts). I peeled the outer layer like you would sometimes do with celery or asparagus. Surprisingly, they tasted like asparagus and were very pleasant. Probably my favorite flavour.

@TheKiwiGrower Год назад

Oh yea I did hear about eating the stalks. Did sound interesting to try out. Good to know you liked it

@James-ol2fr Год назад

Thanks for this comment! I'd heard somewhere that Italians eat them so I was sure there were more delectable ways to prepare! Plus, always looking for asparagus alternatives!

@moonhunter9993 Год назад

@@James-ol2fr Yeah, I was surprised by the uncanny resemblance in flavor. You gotta pick the stalks about 15 inches long, young and tender. Also if you grow sunflowers, you always end up with so many seeds, you can't plant them all. Processing the seeds at home is labor intensive, but growing them densely and harvesting them young and tender is a good alternative.

I've used them as horizontal pieces, but they decompose so rapidly when chopped as mulch I never thought to try them as actual stakes. Now I'm going to experiment with drying them completely first. I wish you could just leave them where they grow, but as soon as the roots start decomposing they have no anchor and just fall over.

Thanks for all of the wonderful information. i use mine for chicken and turkey food. I never sprouted the seeds before feeding them to my flock, but I think they would like something green during the winter. My granddaughter and I planted some after her mother passed and we have save those seed ever since. sunflowers are great and so are you.

@TheKiwiGrower Год назад

SUch a good use for them! :) That's very sweet that you've kept the seeds going ❤❤

@ajb.822 8 месяцев назад

Also, even if you don't sprout long enough to get to greens, even just soaking/starting the sprouting process, makes them more digestible and probably nutritious. Some do a 24 hour soak of their mixed, whole or cracked grains feed by covering a day's worth of feed in a bucket and swapping out each day. I've not had chickens since learning this, but have known people who've done it and read about others, and they say that they definitely eat less on this too, yet thrive as well or more. Also, I wonder how this may positively affects the omega 6 to 3 ratio in sunflower seeds, as they are very high in omega 6 I've often read.

@zaizen4359 8 месяцев назад

The tea from the flowers is quite nutty. I’m sure the nuance varies depending on how mature the flower is, but I had my first taste today and it’s a rather nice pick-me-up!

@elisabetk2595 Год назад

A sort of multi-branching wildflower sunflower comes up everywhere in our community gardens. I let several get tall and prune them up to provide "umbrellas" to shade my vegetable plants from intense midday Texas sun. All season I chop and drop as I prune or weed them out and add to the mulch layer. It is a lot of biomass! People plant more traditional varieties too, and many of those get left up to serve as birdfeeders as they mature. August is our dormant time of year due to the heat and usual drought, so it not unusual to see plots just given over to sunflowers as a cover crop until it's time to plant for fall.

@heikek2134 Год назад

"multi-branching wildflower sunflower" and the fact it seems to be growing everywhere sounds a bit like you're describing a Jerusalem artichoke. They're related to sunflowers, but they produce edible tubers that can be harvested all winter. Don't eat too many of them though, there's a reason why they're also called "fartichokes" XD

@shibibi1 18 дней назад

The stalks once dried, are useful as garden stakes of you're sick of eating sunflower! Fresh stalks are fibrous, but can be eaten like celery, though it's generally done on younger plants because of how fiberous they are.

The very same thing that makes the stalks good for kindling-that white pith in the middle-can actually be extracted while the stalk is still greenish (as green as it still is when the seeds are fully mature) and dried out thoroughly, then ground up. This makes a kind of flour that can be used in cooking.

Definitely interested in the compost from the leaves and most interesting is how the canes can be dried and used for garden props.
