"Sunflower Seeds"

"Sunflower seeds" are the edible seeds found inside the large flower heads of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). These seeds are rich in nutrients like healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They are commonly harvested, roasted, and enjoyed as a snack or used as an ingredient in foods such as granola, salads, or baked goods. Agriculturally, sunflower seeds are also a significant source of oil, which is extracted for cooking and industrial purposes. Their distinctive black and white or striped appearance and nutty flavor make them popular worldwide for both dietary and economic reasons.
