Sunflower Seeds
The everyday workhorse of the seed shelf: mild, sweet and crunchy, naturally rich in vitamin E and magnesium with around 18–20g protein per 100g. Raw and unsalted, so they toast, bake and blend exactly the way you want them.

How to use them

Sunflower Seeds FAQs
Are these sunflower seeds shelled? Yes. These are the kernels with the black-and-white striped husk already removed, so they're ready to eat, toast or bake straight from the pack.
Are sunflower seeds nut-free? Yes, they're a seed, not a tree nut, which is why sunflower seed butter is a popular nut-free spread for schools and allergy-friendly kitchens. As always, check the product page for allergen and "may contain" information.
Raw or roasted? Ours are raw and unsalted, which keeps them versatile. Toast them in a dry pan for a minute or two if you want a deeper, nuttier flavour for snacking or salads.
What can I use them for? Lots: granola, salads, bread and crackers, flapjacks, or blended into a pesto in place of pine nuts. They're an easy, affordable way to add crunch and nutrients to everyday meals.
How should I store them? Keep them in an airtight container somewhere cool, dark and dry. Their natural oils keep best sealed and out of sunlight, and the fridge extends their life once opened.
