Seeking Seed Wisdom: Preparing Sunflower Heads Without Heat 🌻

🔥

Hello everyone,

A neighbor kindly shared a beautiful resource today: 5 whole sunflower heads after harvesting the plants.

I’m hoping to prepare the seeds simply and gently—keeping them raw—so I can later use them in homemade raw vegan crackers.

Do any of you have experience or tips on:

- Removing sunflower seeds from the head efficiently

- Separating the seeds from their shells *without* applying heat

- Keeping the process as simple and low-tech as possible

Whether it’s a hand-technique, a gentle drying method, or a clever kitchen hack—I’d be so grateful for your shared wisdom.

Thank you in advance for your help and inspiration!

With gratitude,

Emil 🌱
