>>5360716Im American born but my Irish Italian German and Polish ancestors all moved here in the 20s to 40s. I'm 32 its just a habit I had since I was a kid.Chewing the seed and the shell and swallowing them whole tastes better to me than popping the seed out the shell spitting the shell out of my mouth or just a seed without the shells. I played baseball as a child we all chewed sunflower seeds or gum.
Its unironically lead to some anal bleeding here and there if i eat too much. Its why I dont eat sunflower seeds as often as I used to
