Sunflower seeds provide notable nutritional advantages including high protein content and antioxidants.
Sunflower seeds contain 18.9 grams of protein per 100 grams according to USDA data. This exceeds the 12.4 grams found in two large eggs. A 2025 review in Food and Humanity highlights their abundance in vitamin E which supports immune function and may reduce chronic disease risk.
