SUNFLOWERS : A HIGH PROTEIN SEED and SPROUTS
A version of the sunflower, or maybe a distant cousin, a wild and small version, sprouts along disturbed earth near road beds in Southern California. Called "Black Eyed Susans," these wild flowers remind me of the tall plants with huge seed beds which actually rotate to follow the sun across the sky in summer..
A couple sunflowers in a garden attract birds who eat the seeds and these days there are a great variety of seeds you can buy with some variation of color - the yellows to oranges and reds - and height - five feet or more is very common. So I was wondering if there is such a thing as a "HUNGARIAN SUNFLOWER." .
To my delight there is! I found this "Heirloom" Hungarian Sunflower Organic Seed for sale on the Internet. SUSTAINABLE SEED CO : ORGANIC HUNGARIAN SUNFLOWER which says "
Large single heads with yellow petals, large black seeds of good flavor, good for sprouting because the sprouts are huge and nutritious.
Add sprouts to salads or sandwiches.
Excellent roasted.
Hungarian heirloom.
Popular protein-rich food in Eastern Europe.
From Martin Ringhoffer, Hungary.
I had no idea people sprout the seeds to eat the sprouts!
A little more reading and I learned that the Hungarian Black Seeded sunflower may have been started long ago from seed brought from the Americas to Europe.

WHAT DOES A HUNGARIAN LOOK LIKE? : STEREOTYPE or NATIONAL IDENTITY?
If you're a Hungarian-American you've probably looked in the mirror and said to yourself "How Hungarian do I look?" because you are probably from a family that is mixed, and mixed here or mixed there before they came.
Lately I've been looking at YouTube videos that want to prove there is a look to an ethnic group. While I'm watching I sometimes think of the Nazi's and their notions of what superior people look like, acknowledge that Germans into Hungary have probably changed the look and the genes of many, and that I simply don't see what these people are "proving" by presenting a series of videos.
It's the same with Hungarian women beauties. Sure they are beautiful and women and Hungarian but there are beautiful women of all nations. I'm sure some of these videos are posted out of national pride and others are gambits for finding grooms for brides, but maybe it is very American of me to be suspicious of them.
Reading also around this is the fascinating territory of DNA. I truly believe that DNA is the future and will prove a lot about the past. I think we will find it's all more complicated than we thought. Sex doesn't respect borders and neither does rape. Borders changed. Ethnicity emerged.
I'm one who believes in Asian or Oriental aspect of Hungarianism because of the language. I cannot speak it but I translate it with books - small phrases - and to me the MENTALITY of the language is so. I think the language is picturesque.
