Just 30g, the equivalent of a handful of seeds, per day is a great way to supplement your overall diet.

Health Benefits

Protects cardiovascular health

Because they are rich in good fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated, sunflower seeds help protect cardiovascular health by regulating total cholesterol levels, increasing good cholesterol and decreasing bad cholesterol, in addition to reducing triglyceride levels.

Helps combat constipation

Due to their high fiber content, sunflower seeds help combat constipation by reducing intestinal transit time and increasing fecal volume. Two tablespoons of sunflower seeds contain an average of 2.4g of fiber.

Increases muscle mass

Because they're high in protein, sunflower seeds can easily help increase muscle mass. Two tablespoons contain 5g of protein and can be included in daily meals, increasing your protein intake.

Helps in the weight loss process

Sunflower seeds can also be used for weight loss, thanks to their high fiber content. Fiber takes longer to digest, slows gastric emptying, increases feelings of fullness, and reduces appetite.
