While the majority assume that “the more seeds you eat, the healthier you get,” this, however, is not the case. A daily serving of sunflower seeds is ideally recommended in the amounts of 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 grams). Giving you a small portion of the Vitamin E, healthy fats, magnesium, protein, and strong antioxidants, which all together improve skin glow, immunity, muscle strength, and heart health. If you overeat sunflower seeds, then you will end up consuming extra calories that are of no use to you. So, daily small portions = maximum benefit, zero harm!
