David Roasted & Salted Jumbo Sunflower Seeds
What it is
These are large sunflower seeds that have been roasted to bring out their natural nutty flavor. They are then coated with salt, providing a savory snack option. The seeds are typically sold in their shells, requiring the consumer to crack them open to access the edible kernel inside. This process adds an interactive element to enjoying the snack. The jumbo size indicates they are larger than standard sunflower seeds, offering a more substantial bite.
