- Place in tall stockpot.
- Add sunflower seeds.

- Let set for 48 hours, the longer you set, the longer the brine has a chance to work.
- I turned with a stainless steel spoon 4 times during this process.
- Drain the seeds, save the brine, if you want to make another batch.
- Pour the seeds into a terry cloth towel and wrap and press with your hand.
