As far as I know it takes all the water. My brother's recipe and all.. so I guess him being a pastry Chef would have me believing him

Any seeds would do then - preferably the larger variety. Are you only allergic to the sunflower seeds or seeds and nuts in general?

Just sunflower seeds. Almost died when I thought it was very healthy to eat it as a snack! I know immediately when I accidently ate one! Sunflower oil is fine. Walnuts make my throat itch, so I am not very keen on them.... pecans are fine.
