Are there low sodium sunflower seeds?
Yes. 15 of the 32 sunflower seeds here have 84 mg of sodium or less in 30 g.

The rest sit above the line: the next lowest has 115 mg in 30 g, and most sunflower seeds have 60 to 230 mg in a serving, 3% to 10% of the Daily Value.

“No salt added” and “unsalted” mean that no salt goes in while the food is made, on a food that is normally made with salt. Neither means no sodium: the other ingredients have sodium of their own. When the food is not sodium free, the package has to say “not a sodium free food” or “not for control of sodium in the diet” next to the Nutrition Facts.
Salt free sunflower seeds
“Salt free” is stricter. A package may say it only when the food is sodium free, under 5 mg. 126 of the sunflower seeds here are that low.

Questions about low sodium sunflower seeds
What are low sodium sunflower seeds?
Sunflower seeds with 84 mg or less of sodium in 30 g, the amount federal labeling rules use to compare sunflower seeds. That is 140 mg in 50 g: the rules test a food with a small serving on 50 g, and that is the line for the words “low sodium” on a package. “Very low sodium” is 21 mg or less in 30 g and “sodium free” is under 5 mg.
Are there sodium free or no sodium sunflower seeds?
Yes. 126 of the sunflower seeds here are sodium free: under 5 mg in 30 g and in the package's own serving. “No sodium” on a package means the same.
Are there reduced sodium sunflower seeds?
2 of the sunflower seeds here carry “reduced sodium”, “less sodium” or “lower sodium” in the name. On a package those words mean at least 25 percent less sodium than the regular food it is compared with, so reduced sodium sunflower seeds can still be above the low sodium line.
Does David make low sodium sunflower seeds?
Yes.
David Reduced Sodium Jumbo Sunflower Seeds, Original Flavor, 5.25 oz. has 55 mg per 30 g, 55 mg in 30 g.

0 mg sodium, 180 calories, 6 g protein and 16 g total fat in one 1/4 cup (30 g) serving of Good Sense No Salt, the lowest in sodium of the sunflower seeds here. The Nutrition button on each product in the list opens the rest of its Nutrition Facts.
How to read the numbers
Sodium in one serving, from the package's Nutrition Facts. The serving is next to it.
% Daily Value is that serving's share of 2,300 mg, the Daily Value for sodium on US packages.
In 30 g: every package on the same amount, so a small serving and a large one line up.
Level: a green tag means the number in 30 g meets a federal level: low sodium (84 mg or less, which is 140 mg in 50 g), very low sodium (21 mg or less) or sodium free (under 5 mg). The package may not print those words.
Nutrition opens the rest of one serving's Nutrition Facts and the ingredient list. More nutrition puts those numbers in the list, to order by any of them.
Filters narrow the list by store, brand, the words on the label and ingredients. An ingredient filter also leaves out products that give no ingredient list.
2024 or newer: the list opens with packages from 2024 or later. Untick the box to add older ones; some may have changed or left the shelf.
These are package numbers, not advice. How much sodium is right for you is for your doctor or dietitian to say.
