About Sunflower seeds with shells

Sunflower seeds with shells are the edible kernels of sunflower plants, encased in a fibrous hull. Native to the Americas, these seeds have been enjoyed for centuries as a nutritious and satisfying snack. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, they support energy levels, heart health, and digestion. Sunflower seeds are also a rich source of vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium, offering antioxidant benefits and immune support. While nutritious, their high fat content makes moderation important, as excessive consumption may lead to calorie overconsumption. Roasted and salted varieties should also be consumed mindfully to avoid excessive sodium intake. Traditionally enjoyed in many cuisines, sunflower seeds are eaten as a snack, added to trail mixes, or sprinkled on salads and baked goods. Their crunchy texture and nutty flavor make them a versatile and healthful treat when consumed in balanced portions.
