Best Answer

The best thing to do with sunflowers is to grow and enjoy them. They make excellent cut flowers if you have a big enough vase.

Other uses for sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) include the following:

  • Seeds - as a food used raw, baked, roasted, salted or not salted.
  • Seeds - can be used for feeding seed-eating birds.
  • Seeds - can be made into butter (like peanut butter) or made into bread.
  • Seeds - oil is extracted for cooking, margarine and biodiesel.
  • Seeds - when oil is extracted, the remaining "cake" can be used for cattle food.
  • Flower - ornamental plant for flower or vegetable gardens.
  • Plant - produces latex and may be source for nonallergenic rubber.
  • Stem - contains a fiber that can be used in paper production.
  • Leaves - can be used for cattle feed.
  • Roots - used in phytoremediation to extract poisons from the soil.
  • Native tribes also used the sunflower as a medicinal ointment.
