Sunflower Seeds 2 articles

Sunflower seeds are edible kernels from sunflower heads, sold either inside striped shells or as hulled kernels. They are roasted and salted for snacking, added to trail mixes, breads, and salads, or ground into sunflower seed butter as an alternative to nut spreads. In-shell products create a very different eating format from ready-to-use kernels. The seeds also carry their own allergen considerations, although they are separate from the major tree-nut and peanut categories.
