These small, tear-shaped seeds are encased in a black-and-white striped shell, with the edible kernel inside. Sunflower seeds are highly nutritious, containing a rich combination of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin E), and minerals (like magnesium and selenium). They are appreciated for their nutty and slightly sweet flavor, making them a popular snack when roasted and salted. Additionally, sunflower seeds can be incorporated into various dishes, including salads, baked goods, and granola, offering a delightful crunch and a nutritional boost. These seeds are not only a tasty and convenient snack but also contribute to a well-rounded and health-conscious diet.
