Beauty Food Profile

image SUNFLOWER SEEDS image

Sunflower seeds are bursting with good-for-you fats and beauty minerals that nourish radiant, dewy skin. They’re high in iron, zinc, copper, and phosphorus, a range of minerals that support immunity, nervous function, and energy. They’re also excellent sources of plant-based protein and free radical–fighting, skin- and scalp-hydrating vitamin E. Additionally, sunflower seeds contain significant amounts of calming magnesium and an impressive range of B vitamins that maintain healthy hair and supple skin, and aid in cell growth and repair. Buy yours raw and unsalted, and store them in the refrigerator to keep their fats in top form.
