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.

While Jay-Z’s characterization of American Jews drew immediate condemnation from the Anti-Defamation League, the group ultimately said Jay’s history of speaking out against racism and anti-Semitism held more clout than the lyric. The Atlantic‘s Adam Serwer noted in 2017 that while the lyrics were “beneath” Jay-Z, “[Shawn] Carter is also drawing on an old tradition of using American Jews as a model of a downtrodden people who found success in America. Frederick Douglass predicted that just as Jewish people had ‘risen’ despite discrimination in Europe, ‘in like manner the Negro will rise in social scale.’ ”

There are so many ways in which plant-based foods can maintain healthy hair, so we put together a list of 15 recipes from our Food Monster App for you to enjoy this winter.

DEAR MARY: Ah, those pesky crows. They are very smart birds, but they haven’t learned to share with others.

With an assortment of feeders in place, an array of foods can be offered to attract the birds you want in a relatively targeted way. Here’s a look at the common backyard birds attracted to each of the most common bird foods.

Think twice before tossing the rind of a watermelon. The crunchy layer makes for a great pickling ingredient to pair alongside barbecue or other lunchtime eats. (Grace Dickinson/Philadelphia Inquirer)

Yield losses when only leaves are killed compared to if the entire plant is frozen are less because the surviving stalk can remobilize carbohydrates from the stalk tissue to the developing ear for some time after the damage occurs. Of course, this is assuming the necessary heat units are accumulated to make a difference. If the necessary heat units aren’t received, a premature black layer may form, ending further grain fill. A killing frost (-2°C or lower) prior to physiological maturity where the entire stalk and leaves are frozen will cause premature black layer development. Grain filling will cease and light weight, chaffy corn will result. Yield losses from total plant death prior to physiological maturity are estimated to be 55, 41, and 12 per cent for soft dough, full dent and half-milk line stages of development, respectively. Since the grain moisture content will be generally greater than 35 per cent, substantial field dry down will be needed prior to harvesting. For further information, refer to the ‘What to Do with Frosted Corn’ article.

A serving of the seeds also contains about 6 grams of protein and 2.5 grams of fiber. “Fat, fiber and protein play an important role in satiety, the feeling of fullness,” says Rumsey.

Finally, there are the giant pumpkins, which are a whole different animal, frequently tipping the scales at thousands of pounds.

The annual sunflower, a member of a genus of about 50 species from the Americas, was domesticated in North America about 5,000 years ago. Native North American uses of sunflower ranged from food and medicine, through a fibre and dye plant to a source of musical instruments and bird snares.

A frost event anytime before physiological maturity (growth stage R-9) can cause damage. Greatest damage and susceptibility will occur when the sunflowers are in the bud and flowering stages, where temperatures of -2°C and -1°C can result in damaged buds and sterile sections or rings in the flowering head. After pollination and petal drop, sunflower can withstand temperatures as low as -4°C with only minor damage. Even though damage may be minor, yield, oil content, seed quality/test weight often are reduced when a sunflower’s experience a killing frost before the R-8 stage. A killing frost in sunflowers is considered to be -4°C to -5°C for 6 or more hours.
