“Through 4-H work I have
gained a better knowledge of
Sunflower becoming popular
The stately sunflower now
used and grown In many
parts of the world was used
in North America first by the
Indians • centuries ago,
according to Mrs. Ruth M.
Hand, Extension Home
Economist, Schuylkill
County. The Indians used the
seeds for oil and food and the
stems for fibers for weaving
rugs and petals for dye. It's
one of the fastest growing
crops in North Dakota -
currently the leading sun
flower producing state.
Other countries in the
world, however, such as the
Soviet Union, Argentina,
Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey
and South Africa produce
considerably more sun
flowers than we do.
The non-oil variety sun
flower seeds can be eaten as
food in a variety of ways,
dehulled and eaten without
processing, dehulled,
roasted in oil and salted; or
salted in the shell.
Sunflower oil is pale
yellow. When refined it is
colorless with a good flavor
and is good for cooking or
using as salad oil. It’s
popular for popping com,
people and how to relate to
them,” Sarah said. They are
two of 40 Commonwealth 4-H
members being selected as
state winners in the various
project categories.

deep-frying foods and other
uses when a liquid oil with a
high smoke point is needed.
It's high in poly-unsaturated
fatty acids.
Even the meal that
remains after the oil is ex
tracted Is a high protein
supplement for poultry and
livestock - and is used in bird
feeders. The hulls, them
selves, arc also used. They
have been used for making a
fuel log and for poultry litter
so far, but many other
possibilities exist.
Then there is sunflower
seed flour which is fluffy and
light gray in color. It can be
mixed with other flours up to
one-fourth of the total
amount - anymore, however,
affects the flavor.
Preparing Sunflower Seeds
At Home
Raw mature seeds may
easily be prepared at home
by covering unshelled seeds
with slated water (2qts. of
water to V« to % cups salt).
Bring to a boil and simmer 2
hours. Drain and dry on
absorband paper. (Or you
may want to soak in salt
solution overnight.)
Put sunflower seeds in a
shallow pan in a 300 degree
oven for 40 to 40 minutes or
until golden brown - stir
occasionally - take out of
oven and add 1 teaspoon of
melted butter or margarine
to one cup of seeds. Stir to
coat. Put on an absorbent
towel. Salt to taste. Deep fat
fry hulled seeds at 360
degrees. For every cup of
seeds allow V« cup cooking
oil. Cook until golden brown.
Skim off and drain seeds on
absorbent paper. After
salting, store tightly
covered.
