How To Eat Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds can be eaten in a number of ways after discarding the shell, either alone or in or on other foods. They can be mixed into homemade granola, blended into breakfast porridge or stirred into yogurt and other healthy snacks.
The seeds can be added to stir-fries or sprinkled on salads. They can be incorporated into homemade bread or muffins, or used in place of pine nuts in pesto. Sunflower seeds can even be ground up and used to top meat or fish.
