i did not know that one has to remove the shell of a sunflower seed before eating it.
i buy a 1 kg bag of sunflower seeds every week and i never liked the smell of them. i tried to eat one once and it was atrocious.
but i did not remove the shell, so, when i buy my next 1kg bag of sunflower seeds, i will remove the shell from a seed and eat it. i do not expect any rapturous sensation to ensue.
