eating sunflower seeds whole?
I've taken to eating sunflower seeds as a substitute for smoking at the computer. The other day I met a guy who eats them shell and all.
Anybody else do that? I can't imagine having enough saliva to soften them up enough to swallow.

I used to eat the whole thing when I was a kid. They never really get soft. 0 -

The shell contains most of the salt. If you have high blood pressure, its probably not good. 0 -

Couldn't be good for the colon, but then again, neither is smoking. 0 -
I wouldn't eat all of them whole. That is how I stopped chewing though. 0 -
I guess you could, but then, you could eat peanuts or cocanuts whole too,But i wouldn't advise it... 0 -

When I used to consume( eat seed and spit out shell) large amounts of these, sometimes after maybe a few too many beers I would chew up mouthfuls of shells and all. Looking back at it now I think they tasted like doodoo and don't think they can be very good for you.[:(] 0 -

I used to chew up the whole thing and swallow it, not that big of a deal. I used to swallow my Copenhagen cud when I was done with it. 0 -
