Sunflower seeds with shell are a popular snack and ingredient derived from the sunflower plant, native to North America. These seeds are enclosed in a thin, striped shell that must be cracked and discarded before consumption. Packed with nutrition, sunflower seeds are rich in healthy fats, particularly unsaturated fats, providing energy and supporting heart health. They are an excellent source of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that aids in protecting cells from damage, and contain minerals like magnesium and selenium, essential for bone health and cellular function. The seeds also provide a good amount of protein and dietary fiber, helping to promote satiety and digestive health. However, pre-packaged sunflower seeds with shells are often roasted and salted, which can increase sodium content. If you’re mindful of salt intake, opt for unsalted varieties or enjoy them sparingly. A versatile snack, they’re enjoyed worldwide and popular in Middle Eastern and American cuisines.
