Ingredients and Nutrition

• Zenobia sunflower seeds contain only sunflower seeds, unless salted. Salted versions contain salt and corn starch. A 1-oz. serving of sunflower seeds contains 150 calories, 15 g of total fat, 6 g of total carbohydrates and 7 g of protein.

Roasting Process

• Zenobia claims that some other sunflower seed processors soak the shells in a brine before roasting them. The company claims it has a better roasting process where it salts the outside shell and places it through a batch roasting process. This makes the seeds crisper and easier to open.
