Title: Sunflower Seeds
Post by: _33 on May 09, 2011, 02:48:59 PM
I can't eat them good.  :frown:

Can't put a handful into my mouth and spit out only shells. Generally I accidentally spit out the seed and eat the shell or just end up with a giant mass of seed and shell crunched/smooshed up in my mouth which I hack up like a cat does a hairball.  Also sometimes put a bunch in my mouth, suck the salt off, and then spit them out machine gun style.

Any good seed eaters care to share the secret? I want to look cool this summer, and nothing looks cooler than sitting casually, talking with friends and spitting sunflower seed shells onto the ground one at a time.

Can't help with the spittin' advice, I think it's just something you're born with.  But you should definitely try the bbq version, they're awesome.

Anybody ever seen somebody eating sunflower seeds one at a time and like cracking the seed with their teeth while still holding onto it with their fingers and then opening it up and taking the seed out with their hands and eating it and then toss the shell on the ground?  :lol: You have to really like sunflower seeds to do this.

This is how I eat them by the way.

sunflower seeds?  prob should just rename them Hayseed Seeds b/c that's the only people that I see eating them.

hey catdude_33, are you planning on starting a corn nut thread next?  :lol:

No, my next thread was going to be about croutons. But maybe the one after that.

hmm, you should start a  thread about croutons, because you remind me of a crouton.

get the seed sideways, along the side of your mouth. bite down, seed should open a bit. Open the rest with your tongue. Enjoy seed. Spit out shell all over clams polo.

always wondered how sunflower seed types had enough room in their mouth for sunflower seeds AND dip, because, ya know, the only people that eat sunflower seeds are also disgusting loser rednecks who dip.

just use that horse's mouth of yours and chew them up like cud.   swallow with vigor.  i often refer to sunflower seeds as the redneck truffle.

i didn't even know people could do this (open, eat and spit shells in mouth w one cheek stuffed full of reserve seeds)!  goddamn, that's impressive.

Yeah, to me it's more impressive than juggling. And I find juggling very impressive.

I put about 25 in my left cheek, navigate one seed at a time over to the right side of my cheek. Open the seed, eat the seed, then spit out the shell. Then begin the process all over.

I didn't think I could do it at first, but just went all out and tried it. It's a lot easier than you think.

Seems like the reserve seeds would get soggy waiting for their turn. Do you just do it so fast that they don't have time to get soggy? 25, wow.

I just eat sunflower seeds one at a time because I don't like having soggy, salty seeds pressed against my teeth for 15-20 minutes.

25 is a good number. I used to stuff as many as I could in there, but limit it to 25 for that reason.

Do you actually count them out or just "wing it"?

I use the same method.  If room runs out for the seed (either shelled or unshelled) on either side of my mouth, I transfer the surplus into the top, front portion of my mouth.

how good a sunflower seed eater is at eating sunflower seeds rises directly proportional to the thickness of said seed eater's goatee.

This is what I do as well. Probably closer to about 15, though.

These are pretty tasty also but the BBQ is the best.

Does anyone else start with say a mouthful of around 25 seeds. The do this process?

1.  De-seed kernal from shell
2. Spit out shell
3. Move kernal to holding area on opposite side of mouth.
4. Repeat until all seeds are de-seeded and you are left with a mouthful of kernals
5. chomp kernals
6. swallow chomped kernals

Edited:  Thanks to clams for the catch.

15 or so for me too. I sometimes spit out one at a time and sometimes store used shells in other cheek until time is appropriate to spit out. also, what about just eating the whole thing, shells and all? dont eat seeds a lot though. maybe five times a year.

I love to eat seeds when I'm on a long road trip.  helps me stay awake, the down side is the spit cup full of seeds and then you accidently spill them in the car.  But yeah 15-20 seeds, Right cheek and left side teeth, crack, spit, chew, swallow, repeat.
