I love sunflower seeds. They are small and easy to chew. They also have a nutty/woody taste. They are the least expensive seed that can be bought at a local shop or health store.
Sunflower seeds can be added to baked goods, or even smoothies. Or some people like to eat them just like that, straight from the bag. This is my preferred method.
These tiny seeds are tasty and full of great health benefits for the human body.
They contain minerals such as:
- copper
- folate
- manganese

- Vitamin A
- Vitamin B
- Vitamin B1
- Vitamin B12
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin D

- Iron
- Protein
- Zinc
And many many more minerals and vitamins.
With all the minerals and vitamins, these seeds have great benefits for the human body.
