Sunflowers can heal the land


 I want to talk about more things I love about sunflowers besides the fact that they make easy to grow, delicious and nutritious food. Sunflowers are used for phytoremediation, which means they are special plants, which clean the soil. In Japan where last year's nuclear disaster contaminated land with radiation, sunflowers were planted everywhere because of their special ability to take up contaminants and transform them into clean soil again! Every idea begins with a little sprout and we can learn a lot from small beginings.
