The sunflower was a food staple in North American for over 400o years. The seeds were used to make flour & oil. The sunflower’s oils and pigments were used as a sunscreen or the basis for a purple dye for skin, hair or textile decoration, while the plant’s sturdy, fibrous stem was used in construction.
