Sunflowers are the epitome of summer with their big bright flower heads that follow the path of the sun. I grow them for the sake of having them in the garden, as hulling the seeds isn't a job I enjoy. Most of ours end up as chook feed because our hens don't mind doing the hulling themselves.

This is the one flour that I'll leave to the mass producers. It took me an hour of trying different methods to get a tiny number of hulled seeds; most of them were still in their shells.

If you have more patience than me, it's a great flour in most recipes that require seed or nut flour.
