About Sunflower seed

Sunflower seeds, harvested from the sunflower plant, are a nutrient-packed snack popular worldwide. Native to North and South America, they are often used in snacks, salads, baking, and as a topping for various dishes. These seeds are rich in healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fats, which support heart health. They also contain protein, making them a great option for plant-based diets, and are an excellent source of vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium—key nutrients for skin health, immune function, and antioxidant benefits. Additionally, they provide dietary fiber, aiding digestion. However, when consumed in excess or in salted varieties, sunflower seeds can contribute to high calorie and sodium intake. For the healthiest option, choose unsalted, raw, or lightly roasted sunflower seeds to maintain their natural nutritional profile. Their versatility and rich nutrient content make them a wholesome addition to any diet.
