These Organic Black Sunflower Seeds have not been hulled so still have their outer shell on them.
They are often used as bird food, but can be safely consumed by humans too. If you are going to eat them shells and all, make sure you chew them well so the outer shell is well broken down.
Even better, you could plant these seeds and grow your own sunflowers for havesting. They will need to be soaked in water first, but then they should be good to grow!
How to store sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds are prone to rancidity as they have a relatively high-fat content. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, or freeze. The cold temperatures will not impair the flavour but will help keep the kernels fresher for longer.
These Organic Sunflower Seeds Black are available in a range of sizes, all packed in Plastic Free packaging. We use plant-based cellulose bags for these products. Cellulose Plastic Free packaging is biodegradable, simply scrunch up to create air pockets and add to your home compost. It will take around 1-2 months to biodegrade. Or it can be added to general waste, it will break down into vegetable matter.
