Preparing Sunflower Seeds for Eating:To hull dried sunflower seeds, begin by breaking them up with a rolling pin, hammer or food chopper. Then, drop seeds and hulls into a large container of water and stir vigorously. The kernels will sink to the bottom and the shells will float. Dry the kernels before roasting or storing.Roast plain sunflower seeds on a cookie sheet in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 15 to 25 minutes. If you like salted seeds, soak them overnight in a brine of two quarts of water to 1/4 to 1/2 cup of salt. The next morning, boil the seed brine with the seeds for a few minutes and drain. Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet and roast in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven for three hours or until crisp. If roasted long enough, they are easy to shell. If preferred, you can baste them with just a little butter while they are roasting. Stir or shake occasionally so they roast evenly.Another way to roast sunflower seeds is to simply mix them with butter and salt. Use about 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon salt for every 2 cups of seeds and roast them for about an hour at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Shake or stir them occasionally.To deep fry hulled seeds, allow 1/4 cup cooking oil for every cup of seeds. Fry at 250 degrees Fahrenheit until seeds are golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and store, tightly covered.Hulled raw sunflower seeds can be used in muffins, cookies, bread and homemade granola and can be sprinkled on salads and cereal.

500 PURPLE VIENNAKOHLRABISEEDS Cultivating Purple Vienna Kohlrabi: An In-depth Guide Purple Vienna Kohlrabi, also known as purple turnip-rooted cabbage, is a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed both raw and cooked. It’s famous for its unique appearance, with vibrant purple skin and pale green flesh. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps of successfully growing Purple Vienna Kohlrabi in your garden. Additionally, we will include a popular recipe and highlight its health benefits at the end. 1. Planting: a. Location: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi requires a sunny spot in your garden, receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the soil is well-draining and fertile. b. Soil Preparation: Before planting, work the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, removing any rocks or debris. Add compost or well-rotted manure to improve the soil’s fertility and organic matter content. c. Sowing Seeds: Directly sow seeds in early spring, after the last frost has passed, as Purple Vienna Kohlrabi is a cool-season crop. Plant seeds ½ inch deep, with a spacing of 6-8 inches between each plant. Rows should be approximately 12-18 inches apart. 2. Care: a. Watering: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi plants require consistent moisture throughout their growing period. Water deeply once a week, providing approximately 1 inch of water. Avoid overwatering, as it may lead to rotting. b. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. c. Fertilization: Feed the plants with a balanced vegetable fertilizer during planting and then again after four weeks. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for application rates. d. Pest and Disease Control: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, practices like crop rotation and maintaining proper sanitation can help prevent common issues. Removing weeds and regularly inspecting plants for any signs of damage will also aid in keeping your crops healthy. 3. Harvesting: a. Timing: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi matures in about 55-60 days after sowing. Harvesting can be done when the bulbs reach 2-3 inches in diameter. If left too long, they may become woody. b. Harvesting Method: Using a sharp knife or shears, cut the bulb just above the soil surface, removing the leaves. Be cautious not to damage neighboring plants during harvest. 4. Recipe: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Slaw Ingredients: – 2 medium-sized Purple Vienna Kohlrabi bulbs – 1 medium-sized carrot – ¼ cup mayonnaise – 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard – 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice – Salt and pepper to taste – Chopped fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley) for garnish (optional) Instructions: 1. Peel the kohlrabi bulbs and carrot, removing any tough outer skin. Grate the kohlrabi bulbs and carrot using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. 3. Pour the dressing over the grated kohlrabi and carrot. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing. 4. Let the slaw rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. 5. Serve chilled, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired. 5. Health Benefits: Purple Vienna Kohlrabi is not only a visually appealing vegetable but also offers several health benefits. Here are some key advantages: a. Nutritional Profile: Kohlrabi is a rich source of vitamins C and B6, dietary fiber, potassium, and manganese. It is also low in calories, making it a great addition to a balanced diet. b. Antioxidants: The purple skin of Purple Vienna Kohlrabi contains anthocyanins, which are potent antioxidants.
