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. Thanks for the great video!
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.
Why does the spiral of sunflower seeds turn the creative portions of my brain into vast storms of ideas? Sooo stimulating!!!! 2:39 Very good shot of a head on the table... Perfect lighting to show contrasting shades of seed colors...
J C that’s funny because I’m from TX and didn’t even notice. 😝 We don’t see guns as killers only people. Just another tool. Snakes in fall are looking for places to hibernate. They love gardens because of field rats and bunnies.
You are a magical man 👏🏽😍😉 I'm addicted to sunflower seeds like I have a jumbo bag next to me 😂 when I'm older I wish to own a sunflower seed company 😩
Whenever anyone asked me what my favorite flower is, it’s always going to be a Sunflower. They give you something beautiful to look at then it also feeds your soul 🌻💕
Nicely done - you got my mouth watering for some plumb tasty sunflower seeds. It also made me smile to see your second amendment enthusiasm on display.
Thank you for the video. This is the first year we have planted sunflowers and they are beautiful. Now I know how to get them ready to eat , too. I had no idea it would be such as easy process.
You can use the small seeds for growing micro greens. I have an old baking pan that I add about an inch of soil then a layer in the seeds followed by another inch of soil. In about two weeks they are ready to trim and add to salads, burgers, and such.
I put some of these at the very end of my flower bed out front I’m three or four weeks in I love watching these lol seedlings grow in the actual flower so refreshing for me.
You have excellent clarity in your communication. Meaning, your thoughts are comprehensive, clear, and properly sequenced; your pronunciation is also clear, the sound does not go up or down; you are not nervous at all; you share your knowledge with your heart. It all came out beautifully. Thank you very much :)
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. Question: Are you planning a solar food dryer for dehydrating sliced veggies for next year as an option for food storage?
You should make your brine solution before you put the seeds in. That way you can ensure the salt is properly dissolved without having to stir the seeds too.
YUM! I don't know about others, but the idea of accidentally eating the worms from a place I grew doesn't freak me out nearly as bad as eating a worm from a "Walmart package"! Thanks for the video!
Awesome harvest! I unfortunately had to cut mine down to hang dry them... the chipmunks loved them found more seed shells on top of the sunflower then were left in the heads! Russian mammoths are a fantastic tall (most of mine were atleast 7 feet tall) and large heads (most of then were atleast 12 inch heads
That was the best video, in my opinion, to date. The info. was good, of course...but you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera than the videos in the past. Nice job.
My favorite are white sunflower seeds, has such interesting taste variations. And my favorite brand is Tadim, easily the best quality of the dozen of brands i've tried.
Wow ,did I get this right ,after the brine soak and roasting ,you eat them unhulled , Just growing them in my vege patch this year Cheers from Downunder .
Another thought, I heard of people putting paper bags over the flowers to keep the birds and pests off them and extending there growing/maturing time ... also makes easier seed harvesting ... love the chocks ... looking for some myself for NYS ... thanks for those vidoes!!!
I SAW THOSE SEEDS,AND HURRY TO OPEN UP VIDEO.IN SECONDS I WENT FROM DO HE SELL THEM ?TO I'M NEVER EATING ANOTHER ONE.I ATE SUNFLOWERS SEED MOST OF MY LIFE.COULDNT STOP ONCE I STARTED,I WOULD BUY HUGE BAGS.NEVER ONCE SAW A WORM.NOT TILL TODAY HAD I EVER HEARD ANYONE TALK ABOUT WORMS.I WILL NEVER SEE THEM THE SAME.YOU BROUGHT THAT DAY TO AN END.👀🍷🤗
I love your work; personally I put seeds for germination into paper bags, not plastic - the plastic makes them sweat and mold, ruining the seed, in my experience - especially if gathering from heads that are still green. Whatever works for you, but this is what I've found working in Northwest WA.
Lol there are too many comments about the glock, the seed hulls, and the "Sea Salt".. The dude has been homesteading for a long time yall. How long have yall been homesteading?? Probably never. Leave em alone. He knows what hes talking about. Zach's the man yo.
Hi. Thanks for sharing this. I am looking for methods of extracting smaller seeds for sunflower oil. When you separate the seeds from the brine it might be a bit faster drying if you use a collander or sieve to drain them before dispersing by hand on plastic lined table .
4:16 What variety sunflower is the one on the very left? I think my mother may have bought it because the seeds look very similar none the less exactly the same.
This is my third year at growing Sun flower plants, (Mammoth) I do like the various colors as well, but no luck with them. My first 2 tries failed and this year, I have actually cut my first plant, I have about 4 more but waiting for the stem to turn a little more yellow as they are completely green still. I will be following your directions. Thank you for sharing.
When the head is wilted over, the back of the flower has a yellowish color with some brownish spotting, and the petals of the flower come off easily, you can see that the seeds protruding out of the head of the flower are starting to loosen up. Each seed will have teeny tiny flowers starting to develop on them. If harvested at this point, the tiny flower heads will rub off easily. Then you can pluck or rub the seeds off of the head. Some farmers cut the stalk a little earlier and hang them upside down in a garage or basement to finish prepping for harvest to prevent the seeds from being ravaged by birds, squirrels, racoons, etc. I've heard that they wrap the heads of the flower in a paper bag or burlap before hanging. Just watched a gardener say that's the way an Amish farmer always did it.
English guy here, I love how you stay strapped doing the most menial task, wish you and your family the best on the homestead
It blows my mind how these grow on a flower in a pretty circle like that.
It's because it's not "a" flower it's hundreds ....each seed is one flower inside the whole mass.
Jhemp 12 It's the Fibonacci sequence.

@@angelashort1331 > there are no gods and no designers besides us.
who else is eating sunflower seeds while watching this and got super paranoid when he said even our store-bought seeds may have worms o.O
That's a good reason to do your own . Soaking makes the worms and bugs float to the top. Same with picking berries
Matt Bray me...i stopped eating
Matt Bray that made me drop my bag
Matt Bray lol me I started looking at the shells of ones that I ate😂
Matt Bray I guess okay whatever you say and I agree boss

Mine were headed for the chickens until I read that, thanks.
i don’t really care too much i eat the seed whole bruh
Then the shells would be soggy
How many worms have I eaten and not known... until this video
samanthaangelramos ..pure protein anyway...won't hurt you
Same 😂😂😂 I probably ate billions by now with my addition.. 😂😂😂
There are bugs, spiders in almost everything you eat. Its nature point is to not be a baby
Don't worry, the worms taste just like the grain they eat. Corn worms on sweet corn are especially tasty.
don't worry, in order to get a good crop they do magical things to our foods via monsanto
Who likes to eat sunflower seeds while watching this
Me!
Sudloosh RZ meeee
we all do

Tools required: pruning shears, Glock 17.
Jarred Card you guys are so observant, i had to watch a second time to see the pistol.
I saw the pistol and thought what kind of worms are he shooting
In case of animals or something harvesting sunflowers wasn't the only thing he did all day obviously.
😂😂😂😂😂
J C that’s funny because I’m from TX and didn’t even notice. 😝

I planted my first mammoth sunflowers a couple months ago and the first one has just bloomed and I am watching this so I can learn :)
I'm happy with UA-cam recommendations, today. I just wish I saw this video 5 years ago.
I'm so addicted to these things...the worms are extra protein.
The seeds with worms are always so bitter, but ive learned how to detect a bad seed with my tongue before chewing into it. Spit

@@blakewilliams5344 that's quite a skill amongst us sunflower seed eaters!!!
You are a magical man 👏🏽😍😉 I'm addicted to sunflower seeds like I have a jumbo bag next to me 😂 when I'm older I wish to own a sunflower seed company 😩
i eat the breakfast lunch and dinner im honset my doc says eat more that seeds like a full meal need proof
I'll work for you if you do 😊 would be fun!!
Lots of tips in the vid to harvest, brining the seeds & roasting the seeds! As I have 4 sunflower plants blooming & soon to seed!👍👍👍
Whenever anyone asked me what my favorite flower is, it’s always going to be a Sunflower. They give you something beautiful to look at then it also feeds your soul 🌻💕
Definately! Just driving past acres of sunflowers makes me smile!
Do you know the brand from the 80s used to be 10 cent
It’s so amazing how small these flowers were once and how tall they grow!
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful home & sunflowers 🌻!

Love sunflower seeds. Love roasted pumpkin seeds also. I will try to grow the sunflower seeds myself next Spring.
I love the homey feel of how they make these. Makes me want to buy local.

Eating Sunflower seed is so much addicting, been eating it for years.
Thank you! Your instructions are very clear, and I'm looking forward to processing my harvest!
Love to see the open Carry and Love to see you living off the land!!! Bless you Brother.

Brodie Lee is a good teacher.
Thank you I learned something new today I love sunflower & seeds
Thanks for this video 🎥.
Harvesting my flowers now🤩😎 thanks for the vid info loved it !!!
Ps Aussie I am so weather allows 😎
Thank you for the step by step.

Excellent video, just roasted our first harvest! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, very inspiring.
The ones with worms have that funny taste. I've noticed that for years in the store-bought seeds.
Whoa....that is a sun flower!
Feb 24 2020 I remember watching when 13-15 classic because I love sunflower seeds. 🏁🏁🏁
What about dehulling them? Any recommended and quick method for dehulling?
Crack by teeth, squeeze by fingers, extract by teeth.... Someone should tell this guy to eat them without the hulls. :)
Very informative, fun video to watch, thanks for sharing
I am watching this while snacking sun flower seed
Looking for this since we got some and will planted more for food. I love this nuts.
I'm a 16 year old teenage girl. I don't know how I ended up here but I don't regret it.
you aren't a teenager.
YUM! I don't know about others, but the idea of accidentally eating the worms from a place I grew doesn't freak me out nearly as bad as eating a worm from a "Walmart package"! Thanks for the video!
Love your Tzitzitz!!
thanks for making this vid. ill grow a 40x5 patch of sunflowers next year. cheers
Me too. Love sunflower seeds
Thanks for this video. I eat an obscene amount of commercially grown sunflower seeds. Can't wait to grow some next year.
Thanks for sharing! I had a big harvest this year and wanted to roast them correctly.
Awesome harvest! I unfortunately had to cut mine down to hang dry them... the chipmunks loved them found more seed shells on top of the sunflower then were left in the heads! Russian mammoths are a fantastic tall (most of mine were atleast 7 feet tall) and large heads (most of then were atleast 12 inch heads
Mine too. Some got to 9 and 10 feet tall with flowers at least dinner plate size.
Beautiful!
Thank you for this video!
Like your house , reminds me one in Wisconsin. The color. Great video. I'm sure most of us eat worms from the seed. I'm still living here.
Cool video thanks for posting, I live 20 miles from the Redmond salt mine "Real Salt" great family owned American company. Can't wait to try this.
Awesome Thanks! ...oh..and you are printing a little😁
This was a good video.
Great video! Thanks! I've never heard brining them before. Really looking forward to trying this when my sunflowers are done!
I can’t wait to do this!!!!!
Great tutorial, thx for sharing the goods. This was the first year we planted mammoths. Man, they are water hogs!
Thanks for the video buddy
If you watch Pratt family homestead he has a great way of taking the seeds off
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing.
Glock and a garden... Love it
Awesome Video!

Me chewing on sunflower seeds....🤤😐🤢🤮
The worms are so bitter
What a true American process.
Interesting. I want to grow one one of these days now.
Useful video, thank you for uploading
Man , I really love Sunflower seads, especially when salt roasted ! *Always keep a big bag at home!
That was the best video, in my opinion, to date. The info. was good, of course...but you seem much more comfortable in front of the camera than the videos in the past. Nice job.
Just in time! Harvesting mine today!
Excellent video!
Like your Zit Zit and heater.
Great job on this subject 😁
Cool video man!!
Looks so good 😍🌻🙏🏼i wished i could taste them

how do you store the roasted seeds, and how long will they keep?
