I was told about this sunflower seed folk attribution only today by a Trader Joe's checker when I was buying 5 bags of the delicious and time-consuming product. So here I am.
A typical answer from any actual medical site that I found for what causes appendicitis:
The cause of appendicitis isn't always clear. Sometimes appendicitis can occur as a result of:
- An obstruction. Food waste or a hard piece of stool (fecal stone) can become trapped in an orifice of the cavity that runs the length of your appendix.
- An infection. Appendicitis may also follow an infection, such as a gastrointestinal viral infection, or it may result from other types of inflammation.
In both cases, bacteria may subsequently invade rapidly, causing the appendix to become inflamed and filled with pus. If not treated promptly, the appendix can rupture.

I've read plenty of anecdotal statements from other sites. However, there isn't a consensus for sure other than to try to avoid eating small indigestible foods such as seed hulls--namely, the shells of sunflower seeds. Why take unnecessary risks? So after reading all this, I am fairly certain that eating sunflower seed SHELLS could cause a blockage that may lead to appendicitis.

How many sunflower seeds in 10kg?
The reason that sunflower seeds are usually sold by weight and not by count is because sunflower seeds do not have a uniform individual weight. One can only give a rough approximation. For example, assuming a 1 gram packet of American Giant sunflower seeds contains between 12 and 13 seeds on average, then a 10 kilogram packet would have between 120000 and 130000 seeds. Switching to a variety of sunflower seeds with smaller seeds, such as Velvet queen, you might get 30 to 35 seeds in a packet, thus averaging 300000 to 350000 seeds.
