Sunflower Seeds

About this product

Sunflower seeds (சூரியகாந்தி விதைகள்) – light, crisp kernels with a gentle nutty flavour, the most affordable everyday seed on the shelf. These are hulled kernels, ready to eat without shelling. The taste is mild and clean, closer to a soft nut than to a strong seed, which makes them the easiest seed to introduce to anyone who does not usually eat them. A light dry-roast deepens the flavour and adds crunch. Their mildness makes them endlessly useful. Roast with a little salt for a snack. Scatter over salads, curd rice, poha and upma. Stir into granola, energy bars and breakfast cereal. Grind into a seed butter for anyone avoiding nuts, or blend into chutney. They are also a common addition to bread and multigrain rotis. Sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, plant protein and healthy fats, and are one of the least expensive ways to add all of that to a diet. Keep them airtight and away from heat and light, and refrigerate in warm weather. Like all oily seeds, they go rancid if stored badly, and the smell makes it obvious when they have.
