How to Eat Sunflower Seeds

Most people eat sunflower seeds because they enjoy the taste, while others eat them as a nervous habit. Whatever the reason may be, you will surely enjoy them. There is a special way to eat them that will not require you to use your hands constantly.

Instructions

1. Choose the sunflower seed flavor of your choice. You have many flavors to choose from such as ranch, barbecue, original, salsa and jalapeño. There are also a variety of brands of sunflower seeds such as David, Spitz and Giant.

2. Practice cracking and eating sunflower seeds in your mouth with just a few seeds at a time. When you get comfortable with this step, move to more seeds at a time.

3. Build up to placing a hand full of seeds into your mouth. Move the seeds to one side of your mouth, and with your tongue, place one seed between your front teeth. Crack the seed with your front teeth and remove the seed with your tongue.

4. Spit the shell out of your mouth and eat the seed. Until you are used to the placement of the seed in this step, you may spit out more than you eat, but you will get used to this over time.

5. Continue this process anytime you are eating sunflower seeds. This technique allows you to continue whatever you are doing and enjoy the seeds at the same time.
