  • Sunflower seeds are a great source of plant protein and healthy fat. And that translates to energy for your body! Zac loves sunflower seeds and we have the ability to now grow our own. It's time to harvest our seeds and get them processed for storage during the winter.

    A good way to check for worms is to put the seeds in a bucket of water. The ones that sink are good to eat or plant, and the ones that float are either sterile or have worms in them.

    • @PeterSedesse
      @PeterSedesse 6 лет назад +26

      Yep, I was just going to post the same thing. It is a good idea to soak the seeds in twice as much water. Not only do the worm-infested seeds float but a lot of other stuff like bugs will float too.

    I dry the entire flower with seeds intact and place one dried flower per week in the chicken coop. The chickens to a wonderful job of picking the seeds off the flower head and keeps them from getting bored while penned up when their not free-range.

      Alan> all salt is sea salt, unless it's synthetic. Salt flats are mined - sea salt is not just from evaporating sea water. There is no rule that says you have to do either or to call it sea salt.
