  • Metabolic Effect: Sunflower seeds support digestion and provide a feeling of fullness due to their fiber content. The fats they contain provide energy, but excessive consumption can lead to weight gain.
  • Consumption Recommendation: It is ideal to consume a handful as a snack. It can also be added to salads or yogurt, but be careful that it is unsalted.
  • Things to Consider: Due to the high calorie content, excessive consumption should be avoided. A handful of sunflower seeds is equivalent to approximately one small serving of nuts.
