The Chew Factor

I had a bag of sunflower seeds out of the shells. When you have some of these, the best way is to eat them by the handful. Which I did.

But today, with the bagful gone, I happened to find a single kernel still on my desk. It's not the floor, it's a desk, so I ate it. And it was enjoyable.

The chew factor of one isolated seed is my topic. It's not mixed in with the whole multitude of seeds, it's one isolated seed. Still, it was very enjoyable, and maybe more so, since it was one seed with its own individual taste and presentation.

The next time I get a bagful I might eat them one at a time. I also might not since that would take forever.
