When I was in the Navy our shop took a giant box of Biggs Dill seeds on every underway. SSES ran on seeds.

I made that exact mistake a couple weeks ago, and it was just like you say. Biggs doesn’t have nearly as many of those bitter ones, either.

I reject the premise that I should eat sunflower seeds of any brand. They’re bird food. Pumpkin seeds are exponentially better.
