Citliyo Black Lightning gluten-free salted sunflower seeds are a packaged snack made from sunflower seeds seasoned with salt. Sunflower seeds are enjoyed around the world, often roasted and eaten from the shell, and this product offers a ready-to-eat version of that familiar snack.
Their crisp bite and savoury, roasted flavour suit casual snacking, sharing, or adding a little crunch to a snack bowl. They provide protein and fibre, but are also rich in fat, so a modest handful can be quite filling. Pair them with fresh fruit or vegetables for a more balanced snack, or choose an unsalted variety if you want to keep salt intake down.
