Sunflower Seeds — Not Just for the Birds
Sunflower seeds, the mainstay of many wild birdfeeders and baseball pitchers, are a great source of nutrition for your family. They are great sources of vitamin E and folate, plus a host of minerals. They are also a good source of protein and good fats. Grind some up into sunflower seed butter and add them to your recipes for a creamy, health-improving boost.
