Sunflower seeds are one of those snacks we’ve all tried but probably don’t enjoy on a regular basis. While they’re popular enough, they’re not quite on the same level as potato chips, chocolate bars, peanuts, or almonds.
And, to some extent, that’s a shame, since unlike potato chips and candy bars, they do have significant nutritional value. While they do contain their fair share of fat and calories, sunflower seeds are packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Consumed in moderation, they can be an important part of a healthy, high-energy diet.
