Who is DAVID? DAVID was founded in 1926 by David Der Herbedian of Fresno, California. David first roasted sunflower seeds in his grocery store and packaged them in individual servings for a nickel. Eventually, David's two sons joined him in marketing the seeds to other retailers, and DAVID Seeds
was born.

DAVID’s great tasting seeds are available in a wide array of flavors and snack products sold in convenience stores, grocery chains, club, mass, and drug stores nationwide. DAVID has the most popular line of in-shell sunflower seeds in multiple flavors, including Original, Low Sodium, BBQ, Ranch, Jalapeño Hot Salsa, and Nacho Cheese flavors, in addition to DAVID Sunflower Kernels in flavors Original and Sizzlin’ BBQ™, and DAVID Pumpkin Seeds snacks.
