When I was a kid, I was astonished to know that actually kuaci is actually the seed from sunflower.
For those who love gardening, and if you do grow sunflowers....
It is even an amazing feeling if you are able to cultivate the plant to produce the flower size with diameter as large as your face..Two years ago, my secondary school classmate went to Mainland China to pursue his studies in Chinese Medical. He sent the following snaps that successfully forced my jaw to drop opened...

Tadaaa....the local chinese anomily-kinda of sunflower spesis. You guys agree or notttt...?
Ok, ok.. maybe i'm the frog-in-the-well (chinese fable) , but, hey fren, observe carefully. The bud has a diametrically size of a stool that you land your butts on. The above pic illuminates pretty well, self-explanatory.
This reminds me of the lotus that dieties, gods and goddess normally use to sit or stand on, a symbolic item of enlightenment...
If you're a kauci lovers, I suggest you fly over to the mainland and grab as many buds as you could. Just be ready to pay for the extra luggage fees. It's cheap....sold at a merely and unbeatable price of RMB2 !!!
And the best part is, the chinese sale it bud by bud, hoho!! Imagine you bring along a bud of sunflower into the cineplex as your tidbits while enjoying the movie..If you can't finish them, bring it back and treat it as your reflexology pad to your cushion furniture, hee hee.
This is a organic, synthetic-free and preservatice-free food. An innovative saleable product ought to be made available in the organic shops. ^^
