Why are sunflowers planted in nuclear affected areas?
Correct answer: Sunflowers suck the radiation out of the soil

Also many questions.
Are the seeds safe to eat?
Is the radiation/toxicity in the flowers a mere fraction of the soil?
Do they compost the flowers somewhere else, only to make the other place toxic?

The biggest producer of sunflower oil in the world is... Ukraine! No wonder why anymore. 🤯

I wonder what the effect is on sunflower seeds. 🌻 would they be bad for you?

Are the flowers then radioactive?

The big question is whether the truth about the effect of radiation on seeds will come out.
JayMo
That’s amazing. Wonder whether the products from these plants (like extracted oils) would then be fit for human consumption. Thanks for this knowledge!

What is stopping birds eating the seeds .. I suppose there is not much life at all in these areas.

TestyAlien3443, also do bees pollinate the sunflowers and are bees adversely affected by the radiation?

JayMo, If in doubt. Don't. There are plenty of other kinds of seeds and nuts to enjoy.

Cattails and Water Hyacinth are good water purifiers. This info makes me wonder though, if eating sunflower seed have toxins in them?
Nic
Interesting! So does this mean sunflowers are radioactive?
