6 Ways To Eat Sunflower Seeds

6 Ways To Eat Sunflower Seeds

1. ON THEIR OWN

Sunflower seeds are typically sold with their shell intact. They are mostly eaten in their raw condition. To eat shelled sunflower seeds raw, you need to crack them apart using your teeth and spit out the shell. Please do not eat the shells are they indigestible and may damage your digestive tract.

Using your teeth to crack the shell open can be quite difficult. Here’s what you should do:
  • Use your tongue to position the sunflower shell vertically or horizontally between your molars.
  • Then, crack the shell with your molars and separate the seed from the shell.
  • Spit the shell out and enjoy the seed!

  • 2. ROASTED/FLAVOURED

    If you like a bit of flavor in everything you eat, you will love roasted and flavored sunflower seeds! While most people like to consume salted seeds, seeds in any flavor can be considered a healthy snack.
