Discover the authentic traditional flavor of Saudi Arabia with our Habba Hamra — premium sunflower seeds that have been enjoyed in Saudi and Arab culture for generations. Our Habba Hamra are carefully sourced from Saudi Arabia's finest sunflower-growing regions, where the ideal desert climate, abundant sunshine, and traditional cultivation methods produce sunflower seeds of exceptional quality, flavor, and nutritional content. The name "Habba Hamra" translates to "red seeds" in Arabic, referring to the distinctive red-brown color that develops during the traditional roasting and seasoning process. Each seed is carefully selected for its superior size, uniformity, and quality, then roasted using traditional Saudi methods that have been refined over generations. The roasting process creates the signature red-brown color and develops the seeds' natural nutty flavor while incorporating subtle savory and spicy notes from traditional seasoning blends. The result is a sunflower seed with beautiful red-brown hue, satisfying crunch, and a complex flavor profile that balances nutty sweetness with subtle earthiness, savory depth, and a mild warmth that makes these seeds incredibly moreish. Beyond their delicious, authentic flavor, our Habba Hamra are packed with nutritional benefits — they're an excellent source of plant-based protein, loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, particularly linoleic acid; rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant; loaded with B vitamins; packed with essential minerals including magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium; and contain beneficial antioxidants. They support heart health, provide sustained energy, support immune function, and contribute to overall wellness with regular consumption. Habba Hamra holds deep cultural significance in Saudi and broader Arab culture — they're a traditional accompaniment to Arabic coffee (qahwa), served alongside dates as a classic Saudi hospitality offering, enjoyed during gatherings, and particularly popular during Ramadan and special occasions. The combination of sunflower seeds' natural nutrition, traditional preparation methods, and cultural significance makes Habba Hamra more than just a snack — it's a connection to generations of Saudi hospitality and culinary heritage. Our Habba Hamra are perfect for those who appreciate traditional, authentic flavors and want to experience a piece of Saudi culture. Enjoy them straight from the package as a satisfying, traditional snack; serve them alongside Arabic coffee and dates for the complete Saudi hospitality experience; add to salads and grain bowls for extra protein and texture; incorporate into trail mix for variety; or share them with friends and family as you would traditional Saudi hospitality. Packaged in generous quantities in premium, airtight packaging that maintains freshness, preserves the delicate red-brown color and flavor, and protects the seeds from moisture, our Habba Hamra (Assaria) is the perfect choice for those who appreciate traditional, authentic Saudi flavors and want to experience a snack that connects them to generations of Saudi culinary heritage. Each seed delivers traditional flavor, impressive nutrition, and cultural significance — a true celebration of Saudi excellence.
