Examine the appearance: Look for seeds that are plump, uniform in size, and free from cracks, mold, or signs of insect infestation. The shell should have a bright luster (naturally unflavored seeds are mostly light yellow/off-white; processed seeds should have an even color with no dark spots).

Smell the aroma: High-quality sunflower seeds have a natural nutty fragrance and should be free from rancid, sour, or moldy odors.

Avoid "three-no" products: Opt for formal brands. Check the ingredient list (avoid processed products with excessive additives), production date, and shelf life.

There are approximately 30 different flavors of sunflower seeds available on the market.
