Main Areas of Cultivation:
USA, China, Argentina, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia

Description:   
Sunflowers need plenty of sunlight to thrive, which is why they predominantly grow in warm countries. They are fast-growing plants, reaching heights of about two to three meters within 5–6 months. Sunflower seeds have been part of the human diet for a long time and have been cultivated for over 2,000 years. Their scientific name is Helianthus, derived from the Greek word “Helios,” which means “sun.”

Uses:
Sunflower seeds are a flavorful addition to baked goods. In Germany, they are especially well known in sunflower seed bread and rolls. They also add crunch to salads, soups, and mueslis when roasted. Eaten on their own, sunflower seeds make for a tasty snack — and when lightly toasted in a dry pan, they develop a particularly nutty flavor.
