- Wild Dutchman Roasted Sunflower Seeds, 5-Flavor Variety Pack, 5.5 oz 5-Pk | Cheddar Dill, Flamin' Bacon, Spicy Cheeseburger, Ranch & Open Pit BBQ, small-batch roasted in South Dakota, resealable bag

Have recently been on a seed binge and out to try as many different brands and flavors as possible to try to pin down by go-tos moving forward. While I am still early in my endeavors, having tried only 3-4 of the more "niche" brands (i.e., not David's, Bigs, etc.), it is hard to imagine finding a brand that is better than Wild Dutchman. Though would be ecstatic if I do because these seeds are phenomenal. Absolutely awesome flavor profiles, great shells/seeds overall, a lot of seasoning (but NOT overly salty, which is huge since I never once felt my mouth getting "raw"), etc. And, of the 3-4 other "niche" brands that I've tried thus far, these are the cheapest, even without any sort of first-time discount. Which is just an added bonus. If you are looking for a new regular, you will definitely find it in these seeds. The only negative I would note is that, in every bag, there seemed to be 2-3 rotten seeds that would completely ruin the current mouthful, requiring me to spit them all out. It was infrequent enough to where it was not a huge problem as opposed to a minor annoyance, particularly considering how good they otherwise are. Of the sampler pack, the Cheddar Dill, Spicy Cheeseburger and Flamin' Bacon were my favorite flavors. I'm not a huge fan of pickles, but the flavor was awesome. Spicy Cheeseburger tasted just like it sounds, though I didn't notice too much of a kick (admittedly have a high spice tolerance, as my wife mentioned she noticed a small kick). Flamin' Bacon had more of a kick, but certainly nothing crazy -- and, while you can definitely taste the bacon flavor, it was not at all overwhelming (in the best possible way, as I was concerned how much I would like a strong bacon flavor in my seeds). The ranch flavor was already really good; only reason I'm not including it in the top 3 is because of just how awesome the other flavors were. And, while the BBQ seeds also had a good flavor, I'm just not a huge fan of BBQ seeds generally. When (not if) I order again, would certainly swap out the BBQ for one of the other 4 flavors.

What I am most impressed with is how good the inner seed tastes. Roasty, nutty, great size. This is the best seed I've had. The flavors are very good. So far the flamin bacon is the winner. I can see why others may not like the smokey or cheese burger but they did grow on me. There is a hint of dill (dill oil listed ingredients) that makes the burger intriguing. Yeah there are some artificial flavors in there but not enough to keep me from hammering the bag. I love how there is NOT a huge salt flavor/burn to these that the common gas station brands do have. The seasoning is on the lite side which I think is just right and not over the top. They are a little pricey. But I do feel you are getting a quality product. Flavors aside, the seed quality is phenomenal. Overall these seeds exceeded my expectations and I'd absolutely buy them again.

I'm mostly exclusive to one if the big names vlasic dill flavor which to me if the best pickle ones it there (I like the dried on coating which gives a longer flavor). Been venturing out trying to find any seeds it there that aren't mainstream found in gas station types. So I got these and can say not disappointed. The flavors are very good, they do however dissipate very quickly as they are powdered flavor. The seed quality is also very good. Just as a note the cheddar dill, spicy cheeseburger and flamin' bacon all seem to taste very similar to me with just hints of differing flavor. Not a big deal to me though as that similar cheesy flavor in them tastes great to me. Hopefully they add more flavors in the future. Definitely worth a try IMO. Might wanna go directly from their site though 🙂

These seeds have a fantastic roast that give the seeds a flavor that no one else has. All of the flavors are really good. They are too salty for me. It’s a shame because the seeds have a lot going for them. I won’t get them again unless they reduce the salt.

I've tried the flaming bacon so far. The description says that the flaming bacon is not for the faint of heart. I'd hate to see what they thought of something flavored with something like say... Habanero. These have a small amount of spice but not much. Biggs Tapatio are a little spicier. The flavor is very good though. I do really like the flavor. The closure of the bag sucks. It's useless. As for value, Biggs and David's offer more flavors for less money in their variety packs, with the bags being about the same size. I will order these again simply based on flavor and interesting flavor combos that no one else has.

Good price, not too salty, fresh and good roasted quality.

I received my order and it exceeds my expectations. Best seeds and flavors ever. Thanks again.

Lacks flavor and shells are brittle. Won't buy again
