Sunflowers love basking the sun, standing tall on long summer days, almost kissing the blue sky.
Many people eat the large sunflowers seeds for their taste but the seeds themselves posses a great deal of health benefits.
Are they healthy?
Of course! Sunflower seeds are a great source of Vitamin E, Copper, Vitamin B1 and other beneficial trace nutrients!

Many of our friends in nature love sunflowers too: from the tiny insects that find shelter beneath the blooms and leaves, to pollinators like honeybees who love to collect the flowers‘ precious pollen, to birds that collect, eat, and help redistribute the seeds.
