What it is

Sunflower seeds are the seeds of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). For dry roasting, seeds are heated in an oven without oil, which gives them a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. They are a good source of nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium.

Why it's used

Dry roasted sunflower seeds are often eaten as a snack on their own or added to trail mixes. They can also be ground into sunflower seed butter, used as a spread or ingredient in baked goods. Their crunchy texture and savory flavor make them a versatile addition to many foods.

Health notes

Sunflower seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing healthy fats, protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. JECFA has evaluated sunflower seeds and found them to be safe for consumption. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.

Allergen info
