Edible plants in Arkansas part 3


Sunflowers

  • Sunflowers grow all over Arkansas, and they make a great food source. Archaeological evidence cited by the University of Arkansas suggests that Native Americans used sunflowers for food as far back as 5,000 years ago. Most people know the seeds of sunflowers are edible, as they are sold in snack form in stores all over the country. But you can also eat the flowers and roots of the plant.
