From giant flowers. Sunflower seeds grow inside the large flower head of sunflowers, packed tightly in a spiral pattern that's absolutely mesmerizing to look at.

Three main types. There are three common kinds of sunflower seeds: linoleic, high oleic, and sunflower oil seeds. Each one has different amounts of healthy and unhealthy fats, so farmers grow different types for different uses.
