Sunflower Seeds, 500g

Our Sunflower Seeds are a proper kitchen staple - raw, hulled kernels with a clean, nutty flavour and a satisfying snap when you bite into one. Left exactly as nature intended: unroasted, unsalted, and ready to take in any direction. Sourced from trusted growers and packed into a 500g resealable, recyclable pouch - the right size for an active kitchen, where they end up in baking, granola, salads and snacking bowls in equal measure.

They're brilliantly versatile. Scatter a handful over porridge, granola or yoghurt for a nutty crunch, or stir them through bread doughs, energy balls or seeded crackers. Toast in a dry pan for a few minutes to coax out their warm, savoury sweetness, then scatter over salads, roasted vegetables, hummus or a bowl of soup. They also make a brilliant sunflower butter and a thoroughly satisfying eat-by-the-handful snack.
