Sunflower Seeds

The possibly that the most cheerful plant in the world can produce such delicious and nutritious seeds seems fitting. The whole face of the sunflower is a Fibonacci spiral of seeds, the most efficient way of packing seeds into the space provided. Isn’t nature clever?

Sunflower seeds aren’t hugely nutritious, containing relatively low amounts of minerals and vitamins when compared to many seeds and nuts, but they have some poly and monounsaturated fat and protein.

They make a good, light snack for those trying to lose weight as they have a very low calorific value. Sunflower seeds are fun to eat too.
