# David Sunflower Seeds

David Sunflower Seeds, also known as DAVID Seeds, is a brand of roasted and salted sunflower seeds produced by ConAgra Foods in the United States.

## History

The company was founded in 1926 by Armenian-American David Der Hairabedian of Fresno, California. Der Hairabedian first roasted sunflower seeds in his grocery store and packaged them in individual servings for a nickel. Eventually, his two sons, Ara and Aram, joined him in marketing the seeds to other retailers.

Conagra Brands acquired David & Sons from Nestle USA in December 2001.
