It’s not just us who say that the sunflower seed is one of the happiest seeds in Svalbard, but science does too! They’re bursting with tryptophan, key to neutralising depression and making premenstrual syndrome more bearable, while they also contain folic acid, which helps the pregnancy process, and they increase feelings of fullness, which aids weight loss. What’s more, they’re rich in biotin, which enhances hair health and skin hydration; they provide a source of healthy phytosterols; they’re definitely not short on calcium, and they help you sleep better. And on top of all that, they’re extremely delicious! But beware, they contain quite a lot of calories, so you shouldn’t eat more than thirty grams per day, which would be equivalent to a handful or a pair of unsalted Mini earrings like the ones in the photo.
