Side by Side Comparison of: YANKEETRADERS vs DAVID Seeds

Once you try these, you will never buy those raunchy stale packets that hang near the register. You know, hot day, maybe a few drinks and gosh that looks good. You eat it and it is like sawdust that clings to the inside of your cheeks. Sunflowers have a fresh nice taste. I did not know this. I have been steering clear of them because the ones I used to get had stale nut oils. This is another sunflower altogether, and I just LOVE 'em!

These Roasted & Sunflower seeds are great. You get a lot in this bag and there are so many uses for it (other than grabbing a handful and popping them in your mouth). I throw them in salads, in with my vegetables, even my scrambled eggs. They add a nice crunch and nutty flavor in my meatloaf and I'm just getting started with what I can use them for. (I could use with a little less salt but otherwise this is a super purchase). They are packaged well and arrived in good shape and got to my house quite fast . I would purchase this again.

this is the second time ordered from this company been extremely satisfied fresh and not overly salted definitely order from them again

The shell-less sunflower seeds are beautifully roasted, are lightly salted, and I have yet to come across a single rancid seed or stray bit of shell. These are excellent for snacking on as is, putting in homemade bread, or tossing on top of a salad for that extra crunch and protein boost. I would highly recommend them as the product received was of good quality, was fresh, and I especially appreciate them being less salty than other brands. For the price you get a good product and I would definitely repurchase again in the future.

Have you ever had sunflower seeds in your salad it is the best, these are a great quality fresh and the perfect amount of salt on themI found the price to be spot on for this quality and finding this size package is hard in normal grocery stores.You can even take them on Airplanes to munch on when they don't serve peanuts anymore because of the 1/2 of 1% of the population who are allergic to peanuts and the rest of us have to suffer.

My wife thought I was nuts - I ordered 8 Lbs of these. Now that she tasted them she wonders if we ordered enough ! These seeds were perfect ! My only comment was the shipping charged by this company was very high. Try and lower your shipping costs to be more competitive !

I was looking to buy in bulk for my husband and bought these accidentally not knowing they were already shelled. So these we eat at home and they are very good.

Tasted good and mixed well with other nuts.

Strange...I received a different brand of sunflower seeds. "WeGotNuts" They're fine, but that was weird.

Nice bag of nuts. Just the right amount of salt and nicely crunchy. Use them for everything - plain snacking, adding to a salad, etc.Update 5/25/15I had originally ordered these sunflower seeds from Farm Fresh Nuts, which is what my review applied to above. Great sunflower seeds. However, I went in to reorder and the seeds from Farm Fresh Nuts were no longer available. So Amazon directed me to the same item, only being sold by We Got Nuts. Received the seeds and have to say I was disappointed. These seeds were way too salty. I ended up taking the seeds cupful by cupful and shaking them out in a wire strainer to remove all the stray salt. Thankfully that worked and now they are edible. Just disappointed I had to take that effort. Now wondering if I will have to do that every time. Should be a way to order the same item from the same company, even if it takes a backorder.

Ok I love the heck out of some sunflower seeds. Seriously, no matter where they come from. This is a lot less salty than others, (which I like)... but the price is still a little cheap in comparison to ones I find at walmart... Especially the way I blow through them. As tasty as they are I probably won't order from here for that very reason.

I'm halfway through this two pound bag already. Good-sides seeds, good flavor. I'm enjoying them whole-heartedly, mostly on the salads I'm taking to work.In terms of snacking, the only thing I wish were a little different is that for a salted sunflower seed, these seeds don't seem especially salty. I suppose I could add some more, being a salty snack lover, but that is my only complaint. Otherwise, it's a yummy snack and crunchy additive to other lunch foods.

These were good but I've had better.

I am not crazy about the taste, compared to the brand I would get in my local grocery store, but which is, unfortunately, always out of stock. I was hoping this would be a replacement, but not really planning to buy it again.

Contrary to other comments these nuts were excessively salted. With respect to the country of origin, this information does not appear on the packaging. The only hint: “packed with pride by we got nuts.”In addition, the nutritional value data was virtually impossible to ascertain due to poor printing practices on the label.Hope this helps!

Everything is good, no problem with packaging or shipping, but the taste isn't as I expected

Looks good but not quite real.

I had purchased a jar of Fisher's dry roasted seeds, and was absolutely hooked on the flavor. I ordered these, hoping to get a similar product at a good price. I was flexible. I was also disappointed. These are just ok. They've got a bit of an oily taste. I would say these are lightly toasted, but certainly not dry roasted. I won't be reordering.

Do not taste honey roasted

My first order was great - good flavor, not overly sweet, nearly addictive. The second order (same label, but different packaging) is just bad. Bitter seeds, very little flavor, not at all enjoyable.

Roasted and Salted? What salt? They taste a little stale and I don't think they got salted. I would not buy these again. Stick to the name brands.

Too salty

Good if you will eat them fast but for me I need to order smaller size packages as they now taste stale

how are you supposed to eat these? wash them first? maybe sunflower seeds are just not my thing. would not buy again

Product was stale, and had lots of chaff in it. Deeper in the bag some of the seeds were rancid.

Received it in today, opened it immediately and tasted... and after a few chews was heading for the waste basket to deposit a mouthful of half-chewed mildew-tasting gunk into it.These are stale, and badly stale, despite a 2017 "sell by" date on the bag received. The bag itself was "Yankee Trader" brand; I'm not sure what they traded for it, one would hope nothing of much value.I should have looked closer at the "most recent" other review, who reported much the same. If you have a time machine and can transport back to when the 5-star reviews are written, you might like this product. If you are, like me, stuck in the present, you'll want to give these a pass, because they're unloading stale nuts on the strength of past reviews.That funky mildew taste is gonna be in my mouth for hours, I can tell. Don't buy this. Blecch.

Received an unmarked bag of sunflower seeds that were exceptionally stale -had a distinct musty, old smell. Went right in the garbage.

Returned. Came in a non distinct package (not he colorful package full of information shown in the photo), no country of origin, no expiration date. Product was stale.

The oily smell permeates into food and makes it taste weird ( in a bad way). Added to my batch of Quinoa, just to little by little consume the sunflower seeds, but it stinks. And the price is not cheap, compared to WalMart, but the freshness is grotesque. I do not not recommend.

The product I received is not the product shown. I received a bag of nuts inside a sealed clear plastic bag. There was a sticker with the name "AIVA" on the front along with a bar code. No other information was on the bag. The seeds had a musty moldy smell to them and tasted terrible. Not edible. I wrote the company 5 days ago and have not had a response.
