Abstract

The frequently wasted petals of Helianthus annuus are used to make sunflower petal tea, a new nutraceutical beverage. Packed with antioxidants, phenolic acids, and flavonoids, it has health benefits like lowering inflammation, promoting healthy skin, and facilitating digestion. This herbal tea without caffeine also supports sustainable agriculture by repurposing flower waste and giving farmers additional sources of revenue. Although the market has a lot of promise because of the growing demand for natural wellness goods, this unique product needs further study, consumer awareness, and regulatory approvals before it can be completely commercialized.
