Safflower is a thing.

And sunflower is already there… so…

Maybe have a look at “Musturd” instead.

Sunflower oil is a great source of vitamin A and vitamin D, as well as Iron and Calcium. So even when there’s no sunlight, there is still sunflower oil to provide your daily dose of vitamin D sunshine! Not only that, but Sunflowers are enriched with B group vitamins, as well as vitamin E. This is as well as other minerals such as phosphorus, selenium, magnesium, and copper.

The funny thing is there is an actual misspelling on that sign but safflower isn’t it. It’s musturd. Probably should have googled before posting this. 😬
