I don't know how to make the oil but that is the main oil that is used here in holland and I really like it. I also use sunflower oil shampoo and conditioner.

EAT THEM!!! It will take tons of seeds to make the oil anyway.

No idea how to make oil at home, but I use the seeds in salads. If I snack on them there is the risk I eat more than 1 oz.

Aren't sunflowers great? I love how they turn to face the sun. And they ARE really tall!! I've never eaten the seeds, I let the birds have them...and boy, do they really LOVE them. Fun to watch too.  I never really thought of eating them. I guess I don't know how to make them go from the flower to what I got at my natural foods store. Please let us know how they are (and what you did with them). Thanks.

One of my favorite salad bars have sunflowers that I put on my salad. Never thought about doing it at home. That's one thing I'll do. Do I need to do anything to them once I pick them before I use them. Like roasting them or something?
