Is it ok to eat sunflower seeds while on a diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Sunflower seeds are a very nutritious food rich in vitamins e, b1, b6, selenium, magnesium, folate (folic acid) and several others. They are high in polyunsaturated oil which is good and may also lower cholesterol. As always, eat in moderation.
