Fri Feb 19 2010I just read an article that Frito Lay has just bought Spitz. Maybe Frito Lay will start using the resealable bag for all of their products. I have tried them all & Spitz are by far the best. They don't have too much salt that leaves your mouth raw, they are large most of the time, & one of the best things I like about them in the resealable bag. I have not heard anyone talk about this but to me this is great.

Thu Feb 11 2010I've been enjoying sunflower seeds ever since I was a young boy - about 30+ years now and I have to agree with the others that these are the best ever. Low salt, good flavor (although I would prefer them without the MSG), uniformly meaty seeds and can't recall EVER having a rotten/burnt one (which was my largest complaint with Davids). I acutally had to buy a case of them from the company before they were available in my state. I originally discovered them in Canada (where they are made).

Wed Oct 21 2009Just ok- Kind of bland flavor..
by bigwavedave
Tue Oct 13 2009Just OK in my book, pretty plump,, but weak seasoning. Different type of seeds too,, very dark brown or black shell, have a different almost skunky flavor, cannot recommend these seeds, GIANTS Rule!!!

Wed Jul 01 2009Spitz Sunflower Seeds are awesome! I have tried Frito-Lay's, Davids, Giants and a few others but nothing compares to Spitz. I only wish I could find them in more places... I have been buying them online at www.spitzusa.com about once a month. Spitz kernels are bigger than everyones too, not just a big shell like Giants brand. Also, Spitz seeds don't tear up my mouth with all the seasoning like others, i don't know what they do thats different than everyone else but this is great. I like the way the flavor isn't to strong to start which makes me eat the whole bag without getting sick of the flavor. I think Giants are nasty, even thier bag looks bad, I guess thats a good sign of whats inside. I buy spitz and Frito lay's seeds and in a pinch Davids.. all are good except GIANTS... they are the worst!

Wed Dec 10 2008I love Spitz seeds! The Dill are great, but Spicy are my FAVORITE. Chewing on them throughout the day has even helped me quit smoking! Love the Spitz and can't wait to order more...as soon as their online store is working again!!!

Sat Oct 04 2008Tasty seeds. I have only tried the Dill Pickle so far. Has a good mild dill flavor. Out of two 6oz bags I have not found a bad tasting one yet. I will have to order online to try other flavors.I just ordered some Giant seeds and will be rating them as well. My friend tells me there dill is better. We shall see. (Edit.The Giants are very good. A tad better than Spitz. But Spitz is still a favorite and with Giants will be the only two brands I buy.)

Tue Sep 11 2007I AGREE THAT SPITZ IS THE BEST SUNFLOWER SEEDS AROUND. MY MOTHER AND SISTER MAKE ME BRING THEM FROM VA TO NC EVERY TWO WEEKS. I WANTED THEM TO TASTE THEM AND I GOT THEM HOOKED ON THE SEEDS. DAVIDS' HAS TO STEP THEIR FLAVOR UP

Sat Dec 30 2006I agree Spitz are the best seeds that i have ever eaten. Dill rocks and finally you can buy Spitz at 7-11. I dont need to order from my cousins in Canada anymore. Hello Spitz good bye Davids.

Thu Nov 30 2006All are terrific, I'm a big fan of salted - don't mess with my seeds. I can eat an entire bag without my lips and mouth being turned raw by salt! Gotta love em!!

Fri Oct 20 2006THE best. A Canucklehead turned me on to these in Saudi. I havent forgiven him yet for getting me addicted. Dill is unreal! Giant delicious seeds.

Tue Feb 28 2006Dill is king, am addicted after two days and will most likely spend all of my 401(k) on dill flavored Spitz.

Sat Feb 18 2006MOLD MOLD MOLD I have enjoyed spitz for many years, but recently I have noticed the quality going down hill. I have not had a bag without eating at least one seed per handful that was bitter tasteing. I could live with that though. I just figured they were burnt. Tonight though I opened up a seed and for some reason I looked at the seed and there was MOLD on it. Grey hair MOLD. I looked at it under a magnifying device and it definately is MOLD. I found this information about what this MOLD could be. The one fungal type that has caused the most commotion in recent history are the various Aspergillus species of molds. Under certain conditions with certain grains, legumes and to a lesser extent, nuts, they can produce a mycotoxin called "aflatoxin". This is a serious problem in some parts of the world, most especially in peanuts, occasionally in corn. There have been no deaths I am aware of in the United States from aflatoxicity, though other countries have not been so fortunate. What ma... Read more

Wed Dec 14 2005Was on a recent road trip and stumbled on Spitz at a truck stop and decided to give them a try over Davids. I was not at all impressed with the seeds, the only advantage over Davids is less salt.

Tue Oct 25 2005Spitz seeds are good. Not great, not perfect, but they are good! David's seeds are ok, but not as good as Spitz, but David's has more popular flavors. Spitz dill pickle is a unique flavor that my tastebuds seem to take a liking to. Several reviewer mentioned that Spitz uses little salt. Good point because you don't always need salt for flavor. Hear that other seed makers? There are some really nasty 'bad' Spitz seeds. Perhaps this explains the 'organic' taste that some reviewers noticed. David's is better in that regard. Less nasty seeds. Spitz can be purchased at Shell gas stations in Western states.

Thu Aug 18 2005DILL PICKLE? The best tasting Dill Pickle is done by GIANTS Sunflower Seeds. They blow spitzs out of the water.
by aggiedude
Mon Jul 18 2005Really enjoy the Dill ones as well and have to order them from drsoda.com...Beat thu heck out of David's by far...Not as salty and much better flavor.Also like the Jumbo (Klein brand)BBQ ones but this flavor AND the resealable package just can't be beat....Hopefully will see a Honey Roasted or sweet type flavor sometime soon.

Tue Jul 05 2005I love the dill flavored. Cannot find them in Texas and everyone keeps trying to take mine away at the ball games. So much better than David's and I don't get a raw mouth by the end of the game!

Thu Jan 27 2005I love them but I can't find them anymore. Does anyone know where I can get them in Northern California?

Thu Oct 07 2004I love that you can tackle an entire bag and not come away with a raw mouth. NOT some thing that can be said about any other seed I've tried. To top it off, their flavors are great! I've yet to sample the Dill Pickle, though.

Fri Sep 10 2004I bought a bag of sunflower seeds and was eating them and there was a roasted bug in them I've emailed the company 3 times and no ones got back to me yet ...
by maxtothemax
Wed Sep 01 2004Spitz are the best sunflower seeds around. I had to give up roasted salted seeds a long time ago. Before Spitz I could never eat more than two or three without having a reaction to the salt. Spitz have very little salt and the best flavors out there. I am a life long convert. Thanks Spitz for allowing me to enjoy sunflower seeds...you can't eat just two or three. Sorry Lays :(

Sun Aug 29 2004all the other brands have way to much salt. spitz is the best for the serious seed adict.also it is a good thing for keeping one awake while driving on road trips. happy spitzing

Sat Aug 21 2004I got hooked on Spitz Dill Pickle when visiting my in-laws in Saskatchewan. Cannot find them in GA, but can order from Burkes Distributing in WA. These are much better than Frito Lay and way better than David. Another excellent seed is Lance.

Tue Aug 10 2004I have NEVER been a sunflower seed lover until my brother in law told me to try Spitz DILL PICKLE flavored sunflower seeds! I bought four bags before leaving Wyoming, and am completely addicted! I can't find them in Georgia!
by bluepony
Tue Apr 20 2004Far better than Davids & Planters! Much bigger and a lot less salt so we can eat more without our tounges hurting before the ballgame is over.

Tue Mar 23 2004The best! Big meaty seeds with a very rare bad one. These are my FAVORIte!
by gerry009
Mon Mar 22 2004Cdeeznuts has likely never tasted a good hearty Canadian seed like Spitz. Full roasted, salted just right. These seeds are excellent with a hearty rich tasting Canadian beer. The wimpy seeds Cdeeznuts is sucking on probably go well with his watered down beer.

Sat Oct 04 2003In my opinion Spitz seeds are the only seed out there. They are plump, fresh, not too salty & very tasty. My favorite flavor is the seasoned which is a sort of ranch type flavor but the salted & dill pickle flavor are excellant as well. They also come in a spicy & jalapeno flavor but I haven't had those because my tongue can't take hot things. The really big advantage to eating lots of sunflower seeds is that they are legumes which are very good for you & provide vitamin E which is hard to get in food. The disadvantage is that they are addictive & if you find that you can't stop eating them (like me!) then you will probably end up with a tummy ache because they make you gassy!! But then as they say... anything that is good for you either comes from the sea, the ground or gives you gas. The only complaint that I have about Spitz is that they are hard to find. They are manufactured in Canada & as far as I have seen the only states you can find them in are the far northern ones. Th... Read more
