These crunchy kernels make a great snack straight from the bag any time of day. Add them to your favorite trail mix, sprinkle them on top of a salad, or use them as a topping for roasted vegetables. They can also be used in your multi-grain breads and nutrition bars.
Sunflower seeds are harvested from the flower head of the sunflower plant. While the seed itself is encased in a black and white striped shell, sunflower kernels are white and have a tender texture. Known for their distinct nutty flavor, you can eat the seeds raw, roasted, or incorporated into your dishes.
While sunflower seeds are rich in nutrients, they’re also relatively high in calories. It’s important to keep servings to a quarter cup at a time.
