Roasted sunflower kernels are a nutrient-dense snack derived from the seeds of the sunflower plant, native to North America. These small, crunchy morsels boast a rich, nutty flavor and are often enjoyed in salads, trail mixes, or on their own as a convenient snack. Packed with essential nutrients, they are an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, which can support satiety and overall health. They also provide key vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium, which contribute to skin health, immune function, and antioxidant protection. However, moderation is important, as roasted sunflower kernels can be calorie-dense, and some varieties may be high in added salt or oil. Whether embraced in Western cuisines as a topping or eaten by the handful, these versatile seeds are a wholesome option to fuel your day.
