Sunflower Seeds, Raw, Hulled, Organic, 5# Bulk

My husband is very particular about sunflower seeds and their quality. He buys them in quantity and keeps them in the freezer until he wants to roast a batch of them. He pours them out onto a baking sheet and literally sorts through each seed to separate out a pile of all the broken or damaged or bad-looking ones and discards them before he rinses and then roasts the remaining good ones in a cast-iron skillet. He has tried to find good quality raw sunflower seeds from many different sources, and is usually very disappointed in the quality. He used to manage a health food store and is very concerned about quality because often the sunflower seeds that are sold have many seeds in the batch that are rancid. He does not want to eat rancid seeds. When he finds a nice, clean, fresh, relatively unbroken, non-rancid source of sunflower seeds it is like a miracle. These seeds are very good. Or, at least the batch we just ordered this time was very very good. That is not saying they will always be like that, but for now, he is very pleased. They are not perfect, and he has still discarded a number of them, but it is a very small percentage compared with seeds from the other sources he has tried in the past two years, where he has often rejected close to half of them. I like it because he is spending less time sorting sunflower seeds and more time enjoying life.

I have been trying to find raw unsalted organic sunflower seeds for a long time. This product fits the bill perfectly. The fact that a 5 lb bag comes with a resealable bag is a huge bonus. I eat sunflower seeds to control my blood pressure, and I like to buy them raw so I can dry roast them on my own without adding any oils or salt. These sunflower seeds are really good quality seeds. I wash about 1-2 pounds at a time, and then spread them out on a baking tray and dry roast them at 400 degrees, turning them every once in awhile. What you get in the end is crunchy, golden brown seeds that are tasty. You can tell these are quality seeds because you don't need to add any oil while dry roasting them. If sunflower seeds are of good quality, the natural oil in them will come out as you roast them and produce an awesome crunchy snack. I have already bought 3 more bags and will continue buying this product from this seller.

They tasted very good and the price was right, but there is no notice of who has certified these as organic. When I wrote and asked where they were harvested, the company never replied. So while they are good, and the price is right, I'm afraid it's a bit of a case of 'buyer beware,' since we don't know that they truly are organic or where they are from.

Oh my word, I didn’t realize it was going to be this big of a bag. Holy cow. It’s foot wide by a foot tall. I should probably stop drinking and shopping. Maybe. I guess I’ll be making a lot bread... Gigi YouTube recipes!

I buy and use raw sunflower seeds a lot in baking, because I am allergic to gluten.I need a high quality, organic source of seeds and nuts - and products that have obviously been processed carefully.Nothing makes me madder than to get something that is rancid or full of shells.That has NEVER happened with this company. The seeds are always fresh, smell good, taste amazing, and beautifully packaged.It does crack me up to read all the messages printed on their packing.I will be a repeat customer of these folks for life!

5 pounds of sunflower seeds is a lot more than I was expecting! They taste fresh. Unfortunately the package looks different than the one pictured, as pictured it shows the USDA Organic logo, but that's not on the package that arrived. There's no indiciation that they are actually organic. 2 stars off because of that.

I just finished my first 5# bag of these sunflower seeds, and am about to order my second bag. They stayed fresh for the entire 3 months that it took me to eat them. I stored them in mason jars in a cupboard, and the last jar was as fresh as the first. I highly recommend them!

I add these to my morning oatmeal and to all my salads. They are delicious and give nutrition and variety to what we eat.
