Looking for a health-promoting snack? A handful of sunflower seeds will take care of your hunger, while also enhancing your health.
Sunflower seeds are the gift of the beautiful sunflower, a plant with rays of petals emanating from its bright yellow, seed-studded center. The sunflower's Latin scientific name, Helianthus annuus, reflects its solar appearance since helios is the Greek word for sun, and anthos is the Greek word for flower.
The sunflower produces grayish-green or black seeds encased in tear-dropped shaped gray or black shells that often times feature black and white stripes. Shelled sunflower seeds have a mild nutty taste and firm, but tender texture. Enjoy as a snack on their own, make your own sunflower butter, LSA(raw linseeds, sunflower seeds & raw almonds ground up) or make your own home made breakfast bars/granola/muesli like the recipes found in Dr Libby's Real Food Kitchen Book(available online here to purchase as well).
