Persian,

You soak them to release inhibitors, then alow them to dry and grind them. Sorry I didn't make it clear in the other post.Persian <persian13@...> wrote:

Interesting, I have no problem getting sunflower seeds to a smooth pate in my Cuisinart 11 cup model. Maybe 1 cup is not enough to engage in the blades. When I do recipes that call for the nuts to be ground I usually grind them alone (without the other ingredients) or with just the liquid and the nuts/seeds.

Yes I do but I know from recent experience that it will not grind one cup

of wet sunflower seeds. I tried it on the weekend when I made the sundried

tomato

pate, and the sunflower seeds stayed mostly intact in the food processor.

thanks a lot
