How to Roast Hulled Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds, while often roasted in the shells, are also roasted after being hulled. While it may take a while to shell a cup full of sunflower seeds, the final result will be well worth the effort. Sunflower seeds are loaded with antioxidants and nutrition. One ounce provides 84 percent of your daily Vitamin E and also adds fiber and protein to your diet. You can add roasted sunflower seeds to yogurt, cereal, breads or even ice cream for an extra nutritional boost.
