Roasted Sunflower

In this video I demonstrate how to cut and prepare a fresh sunflower to roast on the grill.

Sunflower bud is like a corn on the cobb and it should be white because it is soft 🌻⚪⚪⚪➡🌽 And you put butter on it 🌻➡🧈

I never seen this much big sunflower here in india

[@syhu5456]

Can we eat the white sponge part?or just eat the seeds?

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

Just the seed part. 🌻 Make sure when you pick them they are still young and fresh and the seeds will be white and very soft.

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

Really…I never new that! Thank you for the information. 😊 I curious about the flour part. 🤔

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

[@heathergarcia2275]

Awesome Video! I had no idea that you could roast and eat a sunflower. Now I want to try it out!

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

That's a great idea!

[@desireerivera4453]

Thank you for sharing this. Awesome! I just planted Mongolian giant sunflower seeds. Would you happen to know what variety of sunflower you harvested?

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

You’re welcome!!They were mammoth sunflowers. 🌻

[@desireerivera4453]

@@myexcellentadventures9588 ❣wonderful! How long did they take to grow from sowing to harvest, and how did you know when to pick them so the seeds wouldn't get hard? What advice can you give on growing? I'm nervous to harvest too late 🥴

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

The seeds were white and soft when we cut the flower. You can see them under the little tiny yellow flowers on top of them. Took the basic 90-100 days to get seeds..have to wait till seeds are turning black on the ends to harvest for regular seeds..dry in paper bags.

If that is vegan butter then I can share this video around.

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

Miyoks vegan butter is my favorite!😋

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

I'm not sure. I was staying with family. My sister in law is vegan, so it may have been. Thank you for watching my video! 🌻

Don’t it has warms

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

No it does not. 🌻

What happen to the seeds

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

We ate them. 😋 They are young and tender like corn.

[@Dee-qo7gh]

@@myexcellentadventures9588 But we didn't see you shell the seeds off first.

[@myexcellentadventures9588]

You don't shell them, you eat them like corn on the cob 😋. The sunflower is young and not mature, so the seeds are soft like corn. We grilled the whole sunflower with olive oil and salt and then you eat it.
