Rolling Hills Of Flowers
Sunflower
Squeeze the oil from the seed after you
Undress the shinning flower.
No food is comparable.
Fibrous, fun and functional.
Loaded with Vitamins A,E and C.
Oily healthy and nutritious.
With fats, proteins and minerals
Everyone should be eating them.
Roasted and salted is best.

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.
Aww… I’m so glad to have inspired you to write this beautiful acrostic. I love sunflower seeds (shelled). Very creative take on the prompt.

Sunflowers are my favorite kinds of flowers and good to eat too!
Oh, but I love them in their natural state, before they become food for mankind. You sing the praises of the seeds well. Thanks for sharing!

Happy day****
It looks like a painting! I have loads of sunflower seeds in my fridge; bought it from a shop in a sunflower field. Maybe I should eat some and not give them all to the visiting mayas.
