The other day at the store I came across a package of SUMSEEDS Energized Sunflower Seeds. These seeds are infused with the same components as most of the energy drinks currently on the market. This caught my eye since it is no secret that I do like my caffeine… speaking of which I need to refill my cup… ok now back to sunflower seeds.

I have heard about SUMSEEDS before, but I had never seen them in the store. I bought the only bag I could find on the shelf next to all of the regular sunflower seeds with their various flavors. What I had heard was that one serving was roughly the equivalent of one cup of normal coffee as far as caffeine goes. I wasn’t expecting a big rush from these.

The flavor is a bit different for obvious reasons. They are flavored with ginseng, taurine and caffeine. Although it was a different flavor, it didn’t taste bad. Since I normally don’t eat sunflower seeds, this was a nice change or reason to do so. It was a great idea for a sunflower seed company to target a group they probably never have had before, caffeine addicts. Now you can chew on a salty addictive substance and get your caffeine fix at the same time. Bored at the office… SUMSEEDS… On a long road trip… SUMSEEDS… Watching a boring baseball game… SUMSEEDS. From its website you can even order them online just in case your local grocer doesn’t sell them. I have an idea, lets mix these in with the normal seeds at little league games and see what happens. Just Kidding.

In the long run, I can see where these would really come in handy on a long road trip. Stay awake and occupied at the same time. Win-Win. If you like your caffeine and happen across a package of these, I would recommend trying them.
