Sunflower Seeds

[SR Mike]

I am an addict to sunflower seeds. To give you an idea, I eat about 1 pound a week just driving to and from work. I decided to save myself money and stop buying Jim Beam and Spitz, so I found I can buy them for .99 cents a pound raw, I enjoy flavoring and roasting them myself. I actually have a batch going right now. Usually I use seasoned salt or B-B-Q flavors, boil them for about 2 hours, dry, then roast for 30 minutes. I am curious if anyone else roasts seeds also, I am currently looking for a new unique flavor recipe.

It is all about the brine mixture. And yes Dill pickle rocks. My favorite all right.

I've never tried roasting my own, but I love seeds too! Nothing better to keep you up on a road trip than sunflower seeds!

The Jim Beams are by far my favorite! Have you tried to make your own Bourbon flavored seeds yet?

And a cigar or two!

Unfortunately the sunflower seeds in germany arent as good as the sunflower seeds in the usa, spain and holland.
I love sunflower seeds but the seeds from my local supermarket arent any good. I have to find a spanish or turkish shop that has better ones...

Jim Beam is great. David is also good. Anyone else tried the nacho cheese flavored seeds? They are different but good.

Besides Dill Pickle and BBQ, I am also a big fan of Nacho and Ranch.

Maybe you could soak them in an empty pickle jar with just the brine left before you roast them and see how that works.

I am an addict too! I love them. My preferred brand is Superior Nut & Candy(out of Chicago) dry roasted, lightly salted. I don't care for any flavored seeds. They have, by far, the largest seeds. Plus, a pound bag is just a few dollars at, of all places, the auto parts store.

Have you tried crab boil or some Cajun spices? Those are some real popular flavors down south...

Have you tried pumkin seeds? I prefer these to sunflowers seeds. AKA pepitas. Never seen dill sunflower seeds- I likely would enjoy these as I love dill chips!
