عباد الشمس الزيتي

Oilseed sunflower seeds are usually black and thin-hulled; their economic value comes from seed yield and oil content considered together. Confectionery types, by contrast, favour larger, often striped, thick-hulled seeds.

Thanks to its deep roots, sunflower is an oil crop that can draw on water deep in the soil, and it commonly appears in crop rotations alongside cereals.
