Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower Seeds are the edible seeds harvested from the flower head of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus). They are typically small, oval-shaped, and encased in a grayish-black shell with white stripes, though they are often consumed shelled as smooth, ivory-colored kernels.

They are a nutrient-dense snack, rich in:

• Healthy fats (monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fats) – support heart health

• Protein – helps in muscle repair and growth

• Vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant for skin and immune function

• Magnesium, selenium, and zinc – essential for energy, immunity, and overall wellness

• Fiber – aids digestion

Flavor & Uses:
Sunflower seeds have a mild, nutty taste and crunchy texture. They can be enjoyed raw, roasted, or flavored, and are commonly:

• Eaten as a healthy snack

• Sprinkled over salads, yogurt, and oatmeal

• Used in baking breads, crackers, or energy bars

• Ground into sunflower seed butter as a nut-free alternative
