Yes.  It will scratch coming out the other end, though.  You might buy raw sunflower seeds (out of the shell) from the health-food or bulk section of the store.  

Sunflower seeds are often salted, so it might be the salt you like.  If you don't mind them unsalted but just crave them, you might be low on Vitamin B.  They are very high in the B vitamins.
