Sunflower seeds are a unique food as they are rich in many types of essential nutrients. In fact they are the one of the richest sources of vitamin E. A 1/4th cup serving of sunflower seeds provides 82% of  daily recommended vitamin E. These tiny sunflower seeds pack in loads of nutrition and these should definitely be a part of our diet.

Like all nuts and seeds, sunflower seeds are a source of good fat. The main type of fat being linoleic acid. Healthy fats are extremely essential for balancing our hormones, are building blocks of cell membranes and essential carriers of fat soluble vitamins A,D,E & K.
