Sunflower seeds, toasted

Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds of the sunflower plant; the figures here describe them toasted. They mainly provide fat and protein, along with some carbohydrate and a range of vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 49g of fat, 21g of protein, 39mg of vitamin E and 400mg of magnesium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative damage, while magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. The high fat content is worth noting when considering energy intake, as fat is a concentrated source of energy. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
