What are sunflower seeds?

Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds harvested from the flower head of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). They are commonly consumed as a snack, used in baking, or pressed for oil.

They can be eaten raw, roasted, or seasoned, and are available both in-shell and shelled.
