What it is
These are sunflower seeds that have had their outer shells removed, making them ready to eat or use in cooking. They are not seasoned with salt, allowing their natural nutty flavor to come through. The seeds are a good source of healthy fats and are often enjoyed as a snack or as an ingredient in various dishes. They are a convenient way to add texture and flavor to meals and baked goods.
How people cook with it
These seeds are versatile and can be incorporated into both sweet and savory preparations.

- Eaten as a snack
You can enjoy these seeds straight from the bag as a simple snack. For added flavor, consider toasting them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. They can be mixed into bread doughs, muffin batters, or cookie recipes for a pleasant crunch. They also make a wonderful topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit salads. In savory dishes, they can be incorporated into stir-fries, grain bowls, or used as a base for pestos and dips.
