Sunflowers are a remarkably versatile and historically significant crop native to the United States. They have been cultivated in the Midwest since the time of the Cahokia mound builders in the St. Louis area, dating back a thousand years, with uses believed to have begun even four thousand years ago. Today, sunflowers are valued not only for their beauty but also for their seeds, which are a source of healthy unsaturated fats. These seeds are often used in various products to support general skin hydration and to contribute to the maintenance of a healthy skin barrier. Sunflowers are celebrated for their robust nature and as the only major field crop grown in the Midwest that is native to the region.
