Products obtained from 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.
