Flower Photography Sunflower Sunshine

These Sunflowers towered over me on a walk the other day. The birds will be happy with these beauties.

I love sunflowers and eat them almost daily. The area in which they are grown and variety are huge in the taste and oil content. I soak in water most all my seeds/nuts/beans/grains to get my food in alive energy state. Sunflowers need only to be soaked for around 5 hours, where beans and harder proteins need overnight soaking. Make sure to pour off that water, and let me tell you there are enzymes and good stuffs in there to water your houseplants, they love it. In nature, seeds and nuts preserve themselves with a layer of tanic acid or husk or shell, this insures the seeds survival through winter and then able to sprout again in Spring, so like Spring the rains and heat come and the seed grows and becomes alive, this is the time and form I like to eat most all of my food. So, in a way you are mimicking nature by soaking your seeds in water then rinsing. Sunflowers are extremely oily if you soak them in glass only, lay them out to dry and let them slow dry on the plate for several days, they will taste different every day, super tasty and much easier to digest this form. They have amino acids to aid in eyesight and skin health including Vitamins B1, E trace minerals, Copper. I will create all kinds of great dishes with them such as, salad dressings, milks, chai, in my smoothies, a paste for soups, chip dips, ice creams, list goes on and on. One of my favorite breakfast is when my sunnies have about an inch of growth on them, I throw in with my eggs for a flash fry, taste soooo yummie!
