The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) was first domesticated by indigenous peoples in North America, particularly in regions that are now the southern United States and northern Mexico. Archaeological evidence suggests that sunflowers were cultivated as early as 3000 BC for their seeds and oil. While specific individuals are not credited with its discovery, it played a significant role in the diets and cultures of Native American tribes long before European contact.
