Sunflower kernels are the nutrient-packed seeds of the sunflower plant, prized for their mild, nutty flavor and versatility in various cuisines. Native to North America, these kernels are harvested once the sunflower blooms fade, stripped of their hard outer shells, and consumed raw, roasted, or seasoned. They are a rich source of vitamins E and B, magnesium, selenium, and healthy fats, making them excellent for heart health and immune support. Sunflower kernels provide plant-based protein and dietary fiber, promoting satiety and digestive health. Their natural oils give a boost of energy, while their antioxidant properties combat free radicals. Though highly nutritious, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation. Popular in salads, trail mixes, and baked goods, sunflower kernels bring texture, flavor, and essential nutrients to your plate.
