Where is the sunflower seed producing area in Inner Mongolia? An overview of the main producing regions

Ordinarily, in our spare time, or when we feel stressed, we all enjoy cracking and eating sunflower seeds. So do you know where sunflower seeds come from? Today let's talk about the sunflower seed producing area in Inner Mongolia.

The sunflower seed producing area in Inner Mongolia is mainly in Bayannur City in the Hetao region of Inner Mongolia. The reasons its sunflower seeds are of excellent quality lie mainly in the following. First, the seed melons from which the seeds are taken here have been cultivated over the long term, with inferior ones removed and superior ones kept, and are excellent varieties selected out. The seed melon rind is light green with markings, and the seeds are plump and thick-fleshed with especially large slices. Second, the soil for growing seed melons is sandy field, that is, a layer of gravel half a chi thick is spread over the farmland, which has an obvious drought-resistant effect and helps the growth of crops.

Because of the soil and climate characteristics, the seeds in this region are large in slice, full in kernel, and fragrant in taste. There are more than a dozen varieties of black sunflower seeds produced in various regions, among which the small-slice “Dingxinbai” produced in the Tongliao region, with its fat and thick kernels, is a top-grade product. Inner Mongolia red sunflower seeds and black sunflower seeds sell well both domestically and abroad, and are especially welcomed by the Hong Kong, China and Macao, China markets. White sunflower seeds are large in slice, thin in shell, and solid in kernel, and the white sunflower seeds of Liangcheng County, Ulanqab League once won a quality award.
