cooking friends recommend I try sunflower seeds, lightly toasted as a replacement. Yes/No?

Pistachio

So many nuts will make a truly excellent pesto. you want nuts on the softer side (walnuts over e.g., almonds). The pistachio suggestion is a good one. Sunflower seed kernals i've never tried, though I think it would work fine.
