Okay, fine—there is one exception. If you roast sunflower seeds and then grind the entire thing (shell included) into a powder? That could work. You’d need a super-powered blender or a mortar and pestle made of Thor’s hammer.
But let’s be real: ain’t nobody got time for that. Just buy shelled kernels. They’re already naked and ready for your mouth.

Don’t hate the shells, though! They’re excellent for gardening—add them to compost for slow-release potassium. You can also use them as mulch to suffocate weeds. That’s way more satisfying than choking on one.
