Deshell Sunflower Seeds

546 sunflower seeds.


Sunflower seeds are a wonderful snack, not only for your birds, but yourself as well. They are high in protein and fat and as such can help help to curb your appetite. With so many people getting healthy and losing weight these days, adding sunflower seeds to your diet can make a big difference to this. They also have a great full flavor even without using salt.


Instructions


1. Place the sunflower seed vertically so the crease between the two halves is facing lengthwise, between your top front teeth and front bottom teeth. Bite down gently until the shell just barely cracks open.


2. Using your front teeth, carefully split the shell halves the rest of the way down the middle. This will make it easier to get at the sunflower seed inside and also keep you from unintentionally chewing the shell with the seed.


3. Take the shells and the sunflower seed out of your mouth. This way you can be certain you get the three separated before eating.


4. Dispose of the sunflower seed shell halves by throwing them away. Eat the sunflower seed.
