![My mammoth sunflowers grew as tall as my roof [1723x2464 - 554KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/XtERHA.jpg){kind=link}
I have only about 10 in my yard, but I have over 600 - 800 on my farm. Going to make oil out of them for farm equipment.
Cool! I've wondered about extracting oil from sunflowers. How much do you get from the 600-800? How long does it take to extract it?
I don't do any of that part but I will ask.
Thanks! If you wanted, you could write it up and post it. To me, making your own oil would be essential for being more self-sufficient but I'm not sure of the most practical way to get started in it.
Like growing WD40? I hope you choose better lubrication over seed oil LOL.
I will be eating the seeds, my hubby makes the oil, he does it every year. Oh and if you eat the stalk before it blooms, it tastes like asparagus.
It does in fact Lightly steamed,lemon,butter S/P. Very tasty
Oil comes from the seeds. Dont bother trying again. You have flowers not 600 acres.
