Sunflower seeds taste better without the shells :-) but for anyone who has
tried to shell them manually, it's a lot of work. They are however very
good.
They taste even better when sprouted, but sprouting requires some
manipulations:
-removing shells
-soaking
-removing inner hulls
-waiting 24 hours until some roots grow.
So, maybe a purist will avoid sunflower seeds, but contrary to grains or
legumes, they don't contain anti-nutrients that I know of (can anyone
confirm this?)
