What happens if you eat the shell of a sun flower seed?
Your not supposed to eat the shell. Your'e meant to eat the inside. Lol. But if yooh do swallow it, it will be hard to digest.
Reply:My son prefers them whole rather than just the seeds. Never has any problem.

Reply:Gives you extra fiber. I'm 44 and I still where a Bikini and have no scars from appendix removal...Honey there is no real answer here.Just remember everything in moderation.
Reply:i love eating the entire thing, not just the seed.





and its actually good for you, just a little hard to digest.





shouldn't be a problem though.
Reply:I will tell you the honest to Gods' truth on that one. I never ate


the shells since my mother warned me when I was little. But


my girlfriend didn't listen to me, when I told her they were too


hard to digest and not to eat them. Well she paid the price


one day getting ready for school. She had to be taken to the


ER, for an appendectomy which came on suddenly. The doctor told her, following an emergency appendectomy, he found remains of the sunflower seed shells


inside her appendix. He told her the appendix has to come


out when it gets full of things that isn't digested (some swallow gum too and that isn't digested). Normally


we can go our entire lives without having an appendicitus.


And she was 15. He told her she should have listened to me


and her mom. And since she now had no appendix, she definitely couldn't eat anymore shells. So that was a good lesson for me to learn. I never eat any shells of any nut, and I don't even eat the thick sausage casings that are tough to chew either. I have made it t hrough my life so far without having to have my appendix out. And I hope it's healthy til I die for not takingany risks. So don't listen to those who say eating the shells won't do you any harm. My girlfriend has the largest scar from having surgery to this day. It doesn't look too cool when she is wearing a bikini, let me tell you. You might keep that in mind and take the time to break them


open next time. Better safe and being cautious.
Reply:I do that all the time, and the only bad thing is that the shell is hard to digest. Other than that, theres really no harm in doing so.

Nothing happens...you just end up pooping out.
