Arabic term or phrase: الحبوب
Hi everyone,
This is from a Syrian text.

I'm wondering what kind of seeds are these, like sunflower seeds? Or some sort of grain?

عليّ أن أخرجها من حيّز أفكاري التي تتسلّى بقضمها كما لو أنّها مجموعة من الحبوب الشهية الطازجة

Many thanks!

grains/cereals
Explanation:
It's either grains or cereals. We don't use this word to refer to sunflower seeds. For sunflower seeds, we say بزر. The plural is بزورات.
