Description

The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a tall, annual plant, It is well-known for its large, bright yellow flower heads that resemble the sun and its ability to track sunlight across the sky, a phenomenon known as heliotropism (in its early growth stages). Sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, and longevity in various cultures, making them a cherished symbol in art and literature.

Sunflower seeds, harvested from the plant’s flower head, are nutrient-rich and widely consumed as food or processed into sunflower oil. The seeds have a striped outer shell (hull) that is typically removed before consumption, exposing the kernel inside. The sunflower plant has also been cultivated for centuries for ornamental purposes, agricultural uses, and its ability to extract toxins from the soil through a process called phytoremediation.
