Frequently Asked Questions
Are sunflower seeds nut-free?
Yes! Sunflower seeds are seeds, not nuts. They're safe for most nut allergies and sunflower butter is a popular peanut butter alternative in schools.
Should I eat sunflower seeds with shells?
Shells are not digestible. Either buy hulled (shelled) seeds or crack and spit the shells like baseball players do.
Why do sunflower seeds turn green in baking?
A harmless chemical reaction between chlorogenic acid and baking soda. Adding an acid (lemon juice) to batter prevents the green color.
