Sunflower seeds are indeed very rich source of vitamin E. Sunflower kernels amongst are one of the finest sources of B-complex group of vitamins. Sunflowers are also incredible sources of folic acid. 100 g (approximately ¼ C) of kernels contains 227 mcg of folic acid, which is about 37% of recommended daily intake. Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis. We love raw sunflower seeds in granola, bread, cookies, & trail mixes. They are so versatile. Toast in the oven at 250 for a delicious roasted flavor! Here’s a great 9-Grain Bread recipe.
One of our favorite salads is Broccoli Sunshine Salad!
Like golden flax, I purchase sunflower seeds by the 25# bag, pour them into a pail, & store it in my furnace. We also have a 5# bag available.
