Sunflower Seeds

Highest vitamin E content of any commonly consumed seed. Significant magnesium, selenium, and B vitamins. The sunflower seed in the stadium or on the sidewalk has more clinical value than most people realize.

Why it is ours

The stadium snack, the sidewalk snack, the road trip snack — already in the culture. The only instruction is unsalted and not the candied version.

What it does

Vitamin E reduces LDL oxidation — the process that creates dangerous arterial plaque. Magnesium content addresses the 75% deficiency rate. Selenium supports thyroid function and the glutathione antioxidant system. The seed the community already snacks on carries clinical weight it was never told about.

How it is cooked

Unsalted, raw or dry-roasted sunflower seeds are the protocol form. Sprinkle on salads and oatmeal. Sunflower seed butter as an allergen-friendly peanut butter alternative. 1oz (about 1/4 cup) per day.
