Sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds of the sunflower plant. The supplied data do not specify whether they are raw or roasted. They mainly provide fat and protein, alongside carbohydrate and several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 48g of fat, 20g of protein and 38mg of vitamin E, with an energy content of 2392 kJ.

Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Most of the fat in sunflower seeds is unsaturated, although they also contain saturated fat. Their energy content is worth noting for people monitoring energy intake. Salted products may contain more salt than shown here. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
