Detailed explanation-1: -The kernel, or meat, of a sunflower seed is the edible part. It’s tan, soft to chew, and has a slightly buttery flavor and texture. Whole sunflower seeds are often roasted, salted, and seasoned in their shells, and many people enjoy munching them this way.

Detailed explanation-2: -All varieties of sunflowers are edible, but larger, grey and white striped seeds are meatier and tastier than the smaller dark oilseed varieties.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unsalted, raw kernels are the least processed versions of the seeds, says Yeung, but pick a seed that you’ll enjoy so that you’ll actually eat them. Eat them on their own or sprinkle them on oatmeal, yogurt, soups and salads, says Yeung. Just remember they’re a high-fat food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Some gardeners like to eat them raw, right off the dried flower. Crack the shell with your teeth and enjoy the earthy taste of raw sunflower seeds, straight from the garden.

Detailed explanation-5: -Therefore, you shouldn’t worry about eating reasonable amounts of sunflower seeds, such as 1 ounce (30 grams) per day-but you shouldn’t eat a bagful in a day.
