Frequently Asked Questions
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.
| Seed Size | Golden Roasting Temperature | Adjustment Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Small seeds (≤1cm in diameter) | 120-130°C | Small seeds are prone to heat absorption, so a slightly lower temperature is used to prevent burning. |
| Medium seeds (1-1.2cm in diameter) | 130-140°C | Regular temperature, balancing moisture removal and aroma enhancement. |
| Large seeds (≥1.2cm in diameter) | 140-150°C | Large seeds have difficulty releasing internal moisture, so a slightly higher temperature is adopted, and the main roasting time is extended by 5-10 minutes. |
There are approximately 30 different flavors of sunflower seeds available on the market.
