A Source of Vitamin B6
Sunflower seeds contain Vitamin B6, one of several nutrients that contribute to their nutritional profile.

Contains Healthy Fats
Sunflower seeds are naturally rich in linoleic fatty acids and other unsaturated fats, contributing to their nutrient density.

How to Use Sunflower Seeds (Sooraj Mukhi ke Beej)?

As a Daily Snack:
Eat a small handful of raw or dry-roasted sunflower seeds between meals as a satisfying, protein and Vitamin E-rich snack. A 28–30g serving (about one small handful) is a common daily amount.

Sprinkled Over Food:
Sprinkle over salads, yogurt, fruit chaat, oatmeal, or soups for added crunch, protein, and healthy fats.

In Baking:
Add to bread, muffins, granola bars, and cookies for a pleasant nuttiness. Note that sunflower seeds may turn blue-green when baked due to a harmless chemical reaction between their chlorogenic acid and baking soda. This does not affect flavor or safety.

In Smoothies and Breakfast Bowls:
Blend into smoothies for added protein and healthy fats, or sprinkle over cereal, porridge, or fruit bowls.

As Sunflower Seed Butter:
Grind hulled sunflower seeds into a smooth paste for a nut-free alternative to peanut butter, suitable for those with nut allergies.

Note: Always consume hulled (shell-free) sunflower seeds. The hull or outer shell is inedible and can be hard to digest. Sunflower seeds are prone to becoming rancid due to their high fat content, always store in a cool, dry place and consume within the shelf life. A common daily serving is one small handful (28–30g).
