* Having noticed the constant following of the sunflower inflorescence to the sun, the Indians endowed it with magical properties and used it in religious rituals.
They introduced this plant into cultivation about 3,000 years ago. They used raw seeds and bread made from sunflower flour as food.
Sunflowers were brought to Europe from Mexico in the early 16th century. They were long cultivated as an ornamental plant, and only many years later was the economic value of their seeds discovered.
Seeds and nuts have long been considered the food of the gods.
In Germany, a coffee substitute was prepared from roasted and ground seeds.
Roasted seeds are a favorite delicacy among residents of Ukraine and Russia (by the way, the habit of gnawing on seeds has not taken hold anywhere else in the world, with the exception of some areas of North and South America, where the descendants of Native American aborigines live).
