Do sunflower seeds grow old and stale?

[georgevan]

as I cleaned out some stuff in the kitchen I found some sunflower seeds that had been in the bottom of a drawer for a few years. Are they still edible? I know what you brave souls are thinking: eat some and find out.

They probably won't hurt you, but the oils in the seeds can go rancid and taste bad.

I have had sunflower seeds go bad ( Both shelled and unshelled). Not bad enough too kill me, but bad enough to spit out and toss what was left
