Related: This recipe is based on soaked sunflower seeds. We soak them to release the anti-nutrients, which make them much more digestible. You can simply soak them for 4 to 8 hours. Or you can go a step further and sprout a little tail on them too. They are rich in vitamin E and copper. Read about the health benefits of sunflower seeds here.
