Sunflower is a species of plant in the genus Campanaridae, Asteraceae, and Sunflower. The flowers get their name because their inflorescences turn as the sun moves. The peel (sunflower seed shell) is lignified and gray or black in color, and the fruit (sunflower seed) is a rectangular ovate lean fruit, called sunflower seed.
Wild sunflowers grow mainly in grasslands and dry, open areas. It generally grows along roads, fields, desert edges and meadows. It grows best in sunny areas.
Sunflowers are believed to have originated in South America, and the Spaniards brought domesticated sunflower species from North America to Europe in 1510, initially purely for ornamental purposes. At the end of the 19th century, it was brought back to North America from Russia. At present, all countries in the world, including China, have cultivated, and through artificial cultivation, many different varieties have been cultivated, and many mutated varieties have appeared in many aspects such as flower head shape, size, fruit form, etc., and many of them have become good raw materials that can be comprehensively utilized.
Sunflowers are now mainly divided into two main categories, one for food and one for ornamentation.
Sunflower seeds are called sunflower seeds and can be eaten directly because they have a high oil content, are semi-dry oil, and have a delicious taste, so they are also used as oil for consumption. Flower spikes, seed shells and stems can be used as feed and industrial raw materials, such as rayon and pulp, and flower spikes are also used for medicinal purposes.
