About Sunflower Seeds (Shelled)
Pour the kernels into a dry cup and level without compacting. Check whether the recipe needs raw, toasted or salted kernels; a coating adds ingredients that are not accounted for by a plain-kernel conversion.
Whole kernels add texture to bread and granola. Ground sunflower meal behaves differently, so measuring a cup of kernels does not tell you the volume after grinding. Keep the preparation order in the recipe.
Tips for measuring Sunflower Seeds (Shelled)
