Sunflower Seeds
Sunflowers are native to Mexico and Peru and were cultivated for thousands of years by native peoples in North America.
When removed from their black shells, sunflower seeds are usually a grey-green color. Avoid seeds that are turning yellow as that is an indication that they are rancid. It is best to store sunflower seeds in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
