As a kid, everyone loved to eat sunflower seeds and spit out the shells, but as we get older, we no longer need the sore tongue from the salt when we can enjoy what is inside them in the first place! This is my favorite snack!! They are no longer available in the stores in my town so I was thrilled to find them on Amazon. I was concerned they might be out of date freshness-wise, but was delighted to find they were not and I am ordering another box today!

the product purchased was david sunflower kernels. although the product date was not expired it tasted very stale, rancid. it is my guess this product was subjected to extreme heat or some type of poor storage. i ordered two cases, twenty large bags. we are "slogging" our way through it even though it doesn't taste fresh. it even smells stale. i doubt i order from you again as a result of this experience. my last order was fine. what happened here? new supplier? it is not acceptable product. i don't understand the difference in quality between these two orders. you won't have repeat business if you ship this kind of stale product. i have told friends of my experience. don't you realize you not only lose my business but the fact that i share my experience with friends and family means they too will not order product that is shipped in this unacceptable condition. it is a hassle to return items. i was willing to make purchases when there were no problems but once this happens I no longer am willing to go through the hassle. It costs money to ship returns. Shame on you.

These sunflower seeds are very crunchy and have just the right amount of salt. I love to sprinkle them on salads. Mmmmm yummy. My order arrived with six months to go before the expiration date and I found that even after they had "expired" by about a month or two they were still very good. I like buying the seeds in the 8.5 ounce packages because they stay fresh longer than when I open one large bag.

These arrived in a case that was still factory sealed. The expiration date is June 2013. Delicious sunflower kernels, toasted and salted just right. Haven't found any bad ones at all. Each bag is resealable, so that helps keep in the freshness, too. Great price, great deal from Amazon. Will order again. Highly recommended.

HEB is a Texas icon grocery store. They chose to not stock David Sunflower Kernels. The store brand they chose to substitute for David is so bad we had to throw it away uneaten. Thanks for selling the David brand.

The nutritional information on the packages I got do not match what is on the website here. Each bag has 4g of trans fats. Why the discrepancy? Why do they need to add that to sunflower kernels?

Good price for these. Very fresh for the 2 sets I've purchased so far. Now I am "auto-subscribed" to getting theses every few months.

Very satisfied with product. Great quality, entire family enjoys them and best price anywhere.

They are a very good value. Package size is just right. Great on salads, but we like them best to snack on.

I bought some because it was advertised as "A healthy snack choice..." only to find out when it arrived that it has half a gram of trans fat per serving due to its use of a partially hydrogenated oil.
