**reviewed in order consumed**Initial impressions- love the packaging. Bright , inviting colors. Resealable which is a must in 2021. Seeds look large and by touch you can tell they will not make your hands clamy/dorito like with excess powder. Clear as day the lack of sandpaper tongue will incur. Each bag was only sampled once (4-7 seeds) so reviews on taste are subject to change.Original: hard to screw this up. If David’s are david, these are the Goliath of original flavored seeds. The only difference- Goliath destroys little David in this parable. Undisputed best original seed I’ve hadHatch Chile: the one I was least looking forward to, but pleasantly surprised. Spicy but flavorful. A good mix of seasoning to seed. I could see these in my rotationParmesan pepper: the most intrigue sparked when ordering. Would have preferred a stronger pepper to parm ratio, but I wouldn’t be disappointed if these were the only flavor I selected walking out of a gas station. A fun little seedSmokehouse BBQ: in full transparency, these are the seeds that had the highest expectation to live up to. Jim beam bbq are my personal seed GOAT. My all time favorite. Opening the bag, I took a huge whiff of the flavor and was disappointed by the lack of bbq smell smacking my big Jnose. HOWEVER, upon suckling on the first bushel of seeds, I was not disappointed. It’s more of a bbq sauce taste. Divine flavor. TBD if they will unseat the product of mr bean, but a potential hall of fame career has been started.Stack rank of flavors:1) Smokehouse BBQ2) hatch Chile3) original4) parm pepperI love eating sunflower seed, but the biggest issue with that is the sodium intake which is a kryptonite for us. It took a while before making a leap on these, but never regret the order. Out of the four I decided to tried the hatch chile first because it different than other big brand. The taste of this is like a lightly flavor ranch with a small kick of spices. Since it's about 100mg of sodium with a serving size of 2.5 in a 4oz package that only at least 250mg of sodium which is a huge plus for me, especially casual eating these at work. Normally my cheeks become salted/cured with some brands pouring a whole container of salt on a 5-6oz bag or the 50% "less sodium", this brand beats them by far and knock them out of the "ball park" (baseball reference pun)! I know there's another site that is similar to this and have lesser sodium content, but i didn't see other flavors like these, unless i'm not looking hard enough. I'm getting these for the flavors other than salt (original is still great!) , supporting a small company, and also I would like to see these at the west cost local grocery store on the west coast.The best seeds on the market. Fewer rotten tasting ones and fewer empty shells and pieces. They also have less salt but just enough and don’t tear your mouth up.Flavors:hatch green Chile is spicy and the best IMOSmokehouse BBQ is smoky but too sweet for meyea they slapThese are absolutely my favorite sunflower seeds. They are not too salty and cant be found in stores around where I live. I discovered these seeds in a convenient store on the trip to Tennessee.Could be the best seeds ever. Variety pack is nice, and a few of the flavors are incredible, and the other ones are good. Seed size and roast is great. You won't miss the salt when it comes to flavor and your mouth will thank you.They’re not very salty. I started buying these to help get me off of chewing tobacco and they’ve worked flawlessly! The flavor is amazing and you can eat 2 sleeves and not have sandpaper tongue!By far my favorite seeds. I found them years ago in store and got hooked promptly by the crunchy perfectly roasted seeds and better flavor and half the salt of other brands, so they wont ruin your mouth and make it raw.
