JUMBO SUNFLOWER SEEDS, Original, 16-Ounce (Pack of 6)

Folks these are the best sunflower seeds in the world! These are unsalted and so they do not tear up your mouth like regular seeds found at gas stations etc. They are good size seeds so very easy to break with your teeth. I used Sunflower seeds twice to try and quit chewing tobacco (which I had used to quit cigarettes about 5 years ago). The first time I quit with Frito Lay/David salted seeds which I found tore up my mouth worse then the Copenhagen pouches chewing tobacco lol! The salted seeds further reduced my sense of taste drastically where even spicier foods started to taste bland.The second time I used these Jumbo Sunflower seeds and these have not only helped me stay off of the tobacco but they also help me stay awake and 100% alert at my desk job (Engineering) without coffee & energy drinks-VERY IMPORTANTLY-These do not tear up my mouth at all or reduce sense of taste. The Jumbo Seeds also have very few duds compared to even David sunflower seeds which are sold in gas stations etc so naturally they should have less duds since they have such a high turnaround compared to Jumbo seeds which are only available online-I don't know how Jumbo achieves such exceptional quality but there is no doubt the producers are an honest company more interested in customer satisfaction rather than the bottom line ($). I am writing this review after I just had to utilize regular salted David brand sunflower seeds to stay awake during a 30 hour 2000 mile drive. Believe me...the Jumbo brand unsalted seeds even taste better than the salted David ones and many times better than the junk Frito Lay ones. If Truck drivers knew about these David seeds and how good they were, believe me, you would find them at every truck stop instead of all the salted garbage ones. Buy these and you won't be sorry. The extra dollar compared to store brand seeds is worth your health and sense of taste. BTW the reason I ran out of the Jumbo seeds on my drive was because grandpa, grandma, my wife and one of my kids are all hooked on these as well now and they finished my weekly 10 bags of seeds so I didn't have enough time to buy/ship before the trip. I've ordered 4 boxes/40 packets in the last month alone. Try eating that many David or Frito Lay seeds and you'll probably end up in the hospital because of the salt lol.

If you use a typical sunflower seed brand from your local grocery store, then these are going to taste bland & just like plain bird food. Instead of switching cold turkey to these, what I have done is mix in a couple bags of these with my normal sunflower seeds. This way, I can find some middle ground between the two extremes. Instead of either having every sunflower seed loaded down with salt, or every sunflower seed having no salt at all, I've found a happy medium that I can still enjoy. Maybe eventually I'll mix it up & move towards 3 parts unsalted & 1 part salted... but right now I've been doing 1 part salted & 1 part unsalted and the taste is still great. Overall, these sunflower seeds are great. No sour tasting ones in the several bags I have tried. Nice jumbo sized and a great snack!

Maybe I just got a defective batch or something, but nearly 1 in every 3 seeds are completely empty — just shell. It’s getting kinda ridiculous. I bought 6 backs from the bundle so I’m really hoping they aren’t all like this. I’m serious. It’s like every third seed is empty.

This is a product that was purchased for my husband, who likes to eat sunflower seeds, so I'm going with his star rating on it, though I have some of my own thoughts. Naturally. So he's the primary user, and he has no complaints, and was very emphatic on that. He purchased them because they don't have added salt, and he thought it would totally make my day if he used sunflower seeds that weren't heavily coated in the stuff. It totally does, babe. It totally does. It's kind of like a movie I saw with Bill Murray many years ago...baby steps, and that can be how you start a journey to things that are better in your life, right? So as to my thoughts...we've had these for a couple of months I think, the best buy date is still a few months into the future, so that's fine. There's a lot of these in this case though, and for sunflower seeds storage in the fridge can optimize their endurance. Rancid seeds are no fun, and it's warmer where we live, so I think that causes things to bite the dust quicker. But with 12 of these bags in a case, I think that can also be more of a challenge to find the fridge space to do that, because produce takes up a lot of space in our fridge. I love me my veg. So unless you're going to be going through these like a machine gun spits out bullets, if they have a smaller package size of these I'd go with it or you could get waste. I also think that as I look at the seeds, I'm not as sure that I agree with the Jumbo designation, but again. My hubby is totally happy with them, and sizing matters can be a matter of opinion. I tried a couple and didn't see anything wrong with them, and I love that you can actually taste the seeds themselves because their flavor isn't being smothered to death by salt.

Great Value and low salt! These have less salt and better value than David's. They always arrive well packaged and intact. The quality has gotten better. I found a long string in one package and at first a lot of stem-like pieces. A couple of bags had a bunch of empty shells. The bag closes easily but it is not airtight.

Las pepitas son chiquitas, no son tamaño Jumbo (tal vez la bolsa) muchas pepitas vacias y otras con gusano
