We grew lots of giant sunflowers last year and saved the heads thinking we would roast the seeds. Well, we didn't get too motivated on that front, but I have recently started growing sunflower sprouts, which has been quite satisfying and delicious.

We cut off the sunflower heads last fall and dried them in our shed.
I recently collected the seeds from one head, soaked them and rinsed them periodically for 2 days, and then grew them on top of soil. In about a week's time, we had plenty of sprouts for our CSA members (and some for us too).
