Sunflower Seeds
This is an easy one to do.
Heat up a dry frying pan and put the sunflower seeds to toast in them. Don't burn them, keep moving them about.
Then take off the heat and splash in a bit of soy sauce, roll the sunflower seeds in it. Empty the seeds into a serving dish.
Leave to cool and then munch away. My kids love them. Never any left by the end of the day! 8)

ah good one, I sometimes do the same with mung beans (after soaking them overnight). Sunflower seeds never seem to last more than five mins, the bag sits next to my computer and I munch away.

Shiney, When you say "sunflower seeds" do you meant the entire seed or just the kernel?
Thanks

Fair enough, that is what I suspected, but it it always good to check. No I don't know a way of doing it quickly unless running them through a grain grinder set very wide to crack them works, but I haven't tried it!

Thanks for that info Andy.
I do prefer them shelled. Basically, cos I am a greedy little thing and enjoy munching handfuls of them.
In Spain you often find loads of sunflower seed shells on the ground, in many plazas or meeting places. The kids there eat Pipas (sunflower seeds) which come in packets with the shells on.
