SunFlower Seed

SunFlower Seed

Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds of the sunflower plant (scientifically known as Helianthus annuus). They are small, oval-shaped seeds with a mild, nutty flavor and a firm yet tender texture. Sunflower seeds have a hard black and white striped outer shell that encloses the edible kernel inside. Sunflower seeds are rich in nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamin E, and various minerals. They are often consumed as a snack, either in their raw form or roasted and salted. They can also be used as an ingredient in cooking and baking, adding a crunchy texture and nutty taste to various recipes. Additionally, sunflower seeds are commonly pressed to extract sunflower oil, which is used for cooking and as a base for salad dressings and other culinary applications.
