Sunflower Seeds

 Sunflower seeds come from the large flower heads of the sunflower plant. The edible variety has a mild, nutty flavor. Sunflower seeds are popular in trail mix, multi-grain bread and nutrition bars, as well as for snacking straight from the bag.

They’re rich in healthy fats, beneficial plant compounds and several vitamins and minerals.

These nutrients may play a role in reducing your risk of common health problems, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
