How do you know when a sunflower is fully grown?

The best way is to test the seeds by taste and appearance. If the inside of the seed looks green or empty then it is not ripe. The seeds ripen from the outside of the head to the center. The petals will be shriveled, the head down-turned and yellow on the back. Sometimes the seeds - especially those in the middle - do not ever fill properly. When ripe, it is easier to rub the seed loose from the head. The seed color usually darkens also.

Does nyjer seed have a shell like the sunflower seed?

Short answer: Yes, the seed hulls are similar as they are both "asters".

Nyjer and sunflower seeds are popular bird attractors at the winter feeding station. Both seeds have an edible oil, though it is the sunflower that became a production crop in the U.S. Actually "niger" or "nyjer" (Guizotia abyssinica) is a close relative of the sunflower, as they are both from the Asteraceae (Aster) family (nyjer not a thistle -that was a marketing ploy by birdseed producers, believe it or not!). The Aster family has a specialized fruit covering called a "cypsela". If you look at the nyjer seed very closely with a magnifying glass, you can see how similar it is to the sunflower, especially the black oil sunflower seed.

Do sunflower seeds help you lose weight?

Sunflower seeds don't exactly help you lose weight. But they are a good, healthy snack for a weight loss program. They have lots of nutritional benefits. But like any food, you shouldn't overdo it. They're high in fat, but not saturated fat. And eating them throughout the day can be a calorie waster. Eating no more than about 1/4 cup a day should be fine. And salt does not make you gain weight, it only makes you retain water which causes only temporary weight gain. But it is better you eat the unsalted type. People with salt allergies, which many people don't know if they have, can develop high blood pressure from salt.

Cultivated sunflowers only have one central bloom and then set seed. They do not rebloom. However wild varieties will send up buds for sometimes 20 or more additional flowers. Deadheading isn't necessary to achieve this because they usually bloom around the same time. Also if left alone they will reseed themselves generously and you will have plenty of volunteer sunflowers next year.
