Why Sunflower Seeds? Part 3 - Cooking Tips

Sunflower seeds are very easy to prepare and usually don't require any cooking. They are most commonly used as a topping for salads, ice cream, and just eaten plain. You can also toast your sunflower seeds, which is super easy and makes a great snack or topping. Just add sunflower seeds to a pan on medium heat and stir occasionally until golden brown. You can find our full recipe for toasted sunflower seeds here. This gives the seeds a nice crunch, which is perfect for ice cream topping and trail mixes. 

Another popular sunflower seed recipe is sunflower butter, a deliciously creamy spread you can put on celery, toast, or even eaten plain. This simple recipe only calls for three ingredients and takes about 15-20 minutes in total to make! 

This pumpkin sunflower trail mix is a great nutrient-rich snack for high-energy activities. All you need to make it is pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and halved pecans. Just mix them together and you are ready for a hike!
