Do sunflower seeds need to be soaked before use?
Soaking is not essential, but it can soften the seeds and make them easier to blend into smooth sauces or spreads. It’s particularly useful when making seed-based creams or butters.
Can sunflower seeds be toasted at home?
Yes, sunflower seeds can be toasted in a dry pan or oven to enhance their flavour. Gentle heating brings out a deeper, nuttier taste and adds extra crunch.
What dishes benefit most from adding sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds work particularly well in grain-based dishes such as couscous, rice salads and pilafs, where they add contrast in texture and a subtle nutty note without overpowering other ingredients.
