Hi,

Sunflower seeds are a kind of snack in some countries.
I’d like to know; what kind of verb I can use with this kind of foods?

I can have nuts. Can I [color=red]have sunflower seeds,too?
That is my question.

2

There is no particular type of verb that has to be uised with a food. It depends on the sentence.
Generally, whatever you say about one food, you can say about another.

3

Definitely.

4

I was told that sunflower always follow every direction of the sun from dawn to sunset, in order to get the continuous sun-rays and to regenerate. Wonderful instincts of nature.

5

Thank you.

Hi Bev,

By the way, can we say “I’m cracking/nibbling sunflower seeds” in lieu of “I’m eating sunflower seeds”?

7

I wouldn’t say ‘cracking’ as, unlike nuts, they are eaten whole.

8

Thanks!
But on second thought, you don’t eat the hulls do you? Or do you have de-hulled seeds in mind?

9

The seeds are usually de-hulled before being sold.
