Did you know that Sunflower seeds are very low in Cholesterol? They are also a good source of Pantothenic Acid, Phosphorus, Copper, Manganese, and Selenium, and are a very good source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol).

Here are some other fun facts about our favorite seeds:

• The Sunflower originally came from the U.S.A!
• There are more than 60 kinds of Sunflower plants in the U.S.
• One Sunflower plant can have up to 2000 seeds in it’s crown!!
• Sunflower Seeds come in both Black and Striped.
• The Seeds you eat are typically Striped, while Sunflower Oil comes from the Black ones.
• Sunflowers are the state flower for Kansas.
• There is only one flower on each Sunflower stem, which give us the distinctive single Sunflower crown.

Sunflowers are both Beautiful and Delicious! Thankfully, they are quite nutritious too- especially when you pick up some of Art’s Batch Roasted Tendersalt Sunflower seeds, which are tastier and much lower in sodium than traditional Sunflower Seeds snacks!
