Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds harvested from the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). These small, grayish seeds with a black-and-white striped shell have a mild, nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They can be eaten raw, roasted, or used as a topping for salads, yogurt, and baked goods.

Advantage:

• Rich in Healthy Fats: Sunflower seeds are a great source of heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL).
• High in Antioxidants: They contain vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage and supports skin health.
• Supports Heart Health: The magnesium and healthy fats in sunflower seeds contribute to lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease.
• Boosts Immunity: Sunflower seeds are rich in zinc and selenium, which strengthen the immune system and help fight off infections.
• Promotes Healthy Skin: The vitamin E in sunflower seeds supports skin elasticity and reduces signs of aging by protecting against UV damage.
