- Sunflower seeds are a great source of plant protein and healthy fat. And that translates to energy for your body! Zac loves sunflower seeds and we have the ability to now grow our own. It's time to harvest our seeds and get them processed for storage during the winter.

English guy here, I love how you stay strapped doing the most menial task, wish you and your family the best on the homestead
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. 😝
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.
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
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.
Thanks for the info. ☺
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
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.
Fibonacci is all around us. Well, the golden ratio is, which the Fibonacci sequence approximates. Sunflowers, pine cones, nautilus shells, spiral galaxies (like our own), the list is huge. A very simple concept about breeding rabbits, with profound implications.

I'm happy with TH-cam recommendations, today. I just wish I saw this video 5 years ago.
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
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!!
Eating Sunflower seed is so much addicting, been eating it for years.
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.
I'm a 16 year old teenage girl. I don't know how I ended up here but I don't regret it.
Who likes to eat sunflower seeds while watching this
Me!
Sudloosh RZ meeee
we all do
Me
i was waiting for him to shoot the sunflowers down
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?
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.
Thanks for this video 🎥.
I love the homey feel of how they make these. Makes me want to buy local.
Thank you for sharing!
Love sunflower seeds. Love roasted pumpkin seeds also. I will try to grow the sunflower seeds myself next Spring.
Great video ☺️ sunflower 🌻 seed 💕 love
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.
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!
Feb 24 2020 I remember watching when 13-15 classic because I love sunflower seeds. 🏁🏁🏁
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.
Thank you! Your instructions are very clear, and I'm looking forward to processing my harvest!
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 :)
If the salt is mined from the earth, why does the bag say "sea salt?"
Because its salt mined from the sea
Because that mine was covered by the sea before long time ago....😁😁😁
Alan> all salt is sea salt, unless it's synthetic. Salt flats are mined - sea salt is not just from evaporating sea water. There is no rule that says you have to do either or to call it sea salt.
And those 31 minerals are bullshit btw. Eat a balanced diet, then you don't have to care about any of this stuff.
The sea is still on earth. 😆
The salt deposit came from an ancient sea that dried up millions of years ago.
Brodie Lee is a good teacher.
Anyone else know “the guy” who eats the shells and seeds?
he is the guy in the public restroom that does not care if anyone hears him groaning
My brother somehow?
LANDSHARK7130 K yes.
It’s me
I have plenty of times. Fiber. Just chew them throughly.
What a true American process.
Excellent video, just roasted our first harvest! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, very inspiring.
Thank you I learned something new today I love sunflower & seeds
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!
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.
Awesome Thanks! ...oh..and you are printing a little😁
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.
46 years arsehole
Love your Tzitzitz!!
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. :)
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!!!
The ones with worms have that funny taste. I've noticed that for years in the store-bought seeds.
Thanks for sharing! I had a big harvest this year and wanted to roast them correctly.
Great! I’m on it!
Very informative, fun video to watch, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the step by step.
Thanks for this video. I eat an obscene amount of commercially grown sunflower seeds. Can't wait to grow some next year.
I can’t wait to do this!!!!!
God is truly magnificent he provides they grow like giant pies full of food
Harvesting my flowers now🤩😎 thanks for the vid info loved it !!!
Ps Aussie I am so weather allows 😎
Man , I really love Sunflower seads, especially when salt roasted ! *Always keep a big bag at home!
Great tutorial, thx for sharing the goods. This was the first year we planted mammoths. Man, they are water hogs!
Cool vid. I am glad I live in a country where I don't have to carry a gun to harvest sunflower seeds, though. Thanks for making the video!
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 .
That was great
my mind is blown
Great video! Thanks! I've never heard brining them before. Really looking forward to trying this when my sunflowers are done!
Thank you!
thanks for making this vid. ill grow a 40x5 patch of sunflowers next year. cheers
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.
Looking for this since we got some and will planted more for food. I love this nuts.
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.👀🍷🤗
Thank you for this video!
Awesome Video!
Get this guy a bigger shirt! Muscles be poppin too hard
Ill be doing this! Thanks!! So exciting.
Great video man!
Amazing
you can put birdseed and lard mixture in heads and on stakes for birds.
Glock and a garden... Love it
Cool video man!!
How do you store them for winter? Also, would you ever feed them (the kind humans don't generally eat) to the chickens? If so, would you still brine and roast them?
Sunflower Fibonacci sequence. God is great!
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 .
You need a gun when you have sunflowers to keep the squirrels and birds away. Great way for target practice!
Plus, squirrel is delicious too! Get two birds stoned at once.
Just the info I was lookin for... Thanks!
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing.
I love the sunflowers ... have you heard of sprouted seeds (about 8 days) as a super food??? I can't wait to try them in salads ... smoothies an option, but I'm not a smoothie guy. Sprouted appears nutrient dense and mineral rich for great soil like you have ... please keep the videos coming, love 'em. I'm trying for land now, hoping to (small scale) join you in homestead experience.
nice i love ur videos
this is my first year geowing mammoth sunflowers, and animals and bug have been destroying my crops as seedlings, but i have hope. i have a question about the sunflower stalks. If i let the stalks dry out if i cut them, would they turn into a woody pole i could use. I also grow moonflowers and morning glories, so that would be a great alternative to a trellis.
Keep the videos coming, they're amazing! 😁
Interesting. I want to grow one one of these days now.
2:39 When you find living organisms sharing your abundance, That is proof you are doing something RIGHT!!!! Life yields LIFE!!! :D Yes, pests are a truth too.... But non poisoned insects tend to be eaten by abundance of birds, and their poop can help your landscape... If you have a pest, you have a cycle issue, a cycle of life.....
Useful video, thank you for uploading
Like your Zit Zit and heater.
He says the salt has been "mined from the earth" and the bag says sea salt.
From the Redmond Real Salt Website: "Real Salt is an all-natural sea salt that comes from our underground salt deposit in Central Utah. The deposit was left there by a pristine ancient sea that covered much of North America millions of years ago."
+An American Homestead
I live in layton Utah I actually "harvest" my own salt from the lake
Aaron Burton how do you do that?
whether it's evaporated see water of harvested salt from the surface of dried lake it's not "mined from the earth"
bartek it sure as heck isn't harvested from the moon
Thanks Zack that was very good info bro!
Very informative, thank you. Hopefully I'll be able to harvest some seeds from my garden this year :)
Get a barrel or garbage can and stretch 1 inch hardware cloth over it. Rob the flower heads over the hardware cloth and the seeds fall into the barrel. Much easier on hands. Any partially developed seeds go to chickens.
While I’m eating David’s sunflower seeds
yummy raw plants
Hey, I harvested some myself in the recent days and since you are a big sunflower eater, I ask you:
Do the own seeds taste better then the storebought ones?
Greetings to you!
Love ur videos amazing Chanel
I don’t think I’ve ever had a worm in David sunflower seeds. Maybe I just ate them 😂
So awesome!!
Excellent video!
Great job on this subject 😁
Eating ranch flavored right now 😂
If you'd ever make shipments, I'd totally order. XD
thank you for a good knowledge sir
loved this video !
