Sunflower Seeds are a snack and a farming seed in one. They are light and rich in fat, which makes them dense in calories. They also work as a spice in salads, bread and muffins.

The seeds never spoil, so they keep in a bag for as long as needed. They are found in snack machines and on the shelves of corner stores and gas stations. They also come from drying a sunflower head. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating

Sunflower Seeds lower hunger by 5. They hold 355 calories, mostly from 22.5 grams of fat. At a weight of 0.1, that is a lot of energy.

That makes them a strong snack for a character who needs to gain weight. They do little to fill the stomach, so they work best alongside a proper meal.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Sunflower Seeds count as a spice in evolved recipes. A spice adds flavor and does not take up one of the dish's ingredient slots. They go into a Salad, Bread or Muffins, adding 5 hunger to each.

The Mill Sunflower Seeds recipe grinds 6 seeds into Seed Paste at a Stone Mill.

These dishes take Sunflower Seeds as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
