Sunflower seeds, though small in size, hold a remarkable wealth of nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. They also contain a good amount of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which support heart health and help regulate cholesterol levels.
Great on bread, focaccia, crackers, and savory biscuits.
They can be mixed into the dough or used as a topping.
One tablespoon in a green or fruit smoothie adds protein and healthy fats.
You can blend them or leave them whole if you’re using a powerful blender.
Just 2–3 minutes in a non-stick pan (without oil) are enough.
It enhances their flavor and makes them crunchy — perfect as a snack or for soups.
