How do you harvest/treat sunflower seeds?

Question

Wasn't sure if all you had to do was wait for the seeds to dry out... Do you bake them at all? Are they naturally salty?

Answer 1

I harvest them by cutting them off the stalk leaving part of the stalk for a "handle" of sorts and then hang them over the winter. You can crack them open and take out the seeds and store them for planting next year or feeding the birds. The large striped ones are the ones most used for human consumption. The small black ones, "oilers" are used for making sunflower oil.

Also. if you ripen them on the plant, get brown paper bags and cover the whole head and tie it on, that will allow the seeds to ripen naturally with out you loosing them to the squirrels or birds!
