Sunflower seeds are addictive, once you start you can´t stop and that could be a good thing. I have always loved sunflower seeds, so when I found out they were good for you I was pleasantly surprised and excited to know that at least one of the foods I love to eat is good for me.

Sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin E (which is great for the skin), magnesium and potassium and help reduce cholesterol.  They also contain a high level of folic acid and iron (great for pregnant women).

Now you just need to remember that unpeeled salted sunflower seeds are not as healthy, so make sure you buy a bag of the already pealed ones and enjoy your new addiction.
