I've been buying organic nuts and seeds from Braga Farms for about a year now and really like all their products, but I especially love these roasted sunflower kernels and their roasted pumpkin seeds. I eat them alone, or mix them with their raw almonds and dried cranberries for a healthy snack. The only downside with their salted seeds is that the salt settles down in the bottom of the bag, so when you get down to the last half, the seeds can begin to taste too salty. However, this is easily remedied by pouring the seeds in a mesh colander and shaking the excess salt out in the sink. This keeps the remaining seeds tasting just as lightly salted and yummy as the top half of the bag. All of the Braga Farms products I've tried are excellent, so I consider the excess salt issue just a minor inconvenience and easily remedied. I've tried many other brands of organic nuts and seeds, but I stick with their products now. They are always fresh and delicious, and I prefer knowing my $$ are supporting good, organic farmers like these folks.
