Ecofood sunflower seeds peeled 0.5 kg

Sunflower seeds are a rich source of vitamin E, a strong antioxidant that plays an important role in the health of the mucous membranes and skin, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. 30 grams of peeled sunflower kernels contain 11 milligrams of vitamin E, which is 110 percent of the recommended daily value. Sunflower seeds also contain the polyphenolic compounds chlorogenic acid, quinic acid and caffeic acid, which have antioxidant properties.

Arginine is an essential amino acid found in abundance in sunflower seeds. Arginine plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular health by strengthening blood vessels and arteries. Vitamin B1, found in sunflower seeds, helps reduce the risk of thrombosis of veins or arteries and coronary heart disease by suppressing the production of homocysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid. Essential fatty acids, or "good fats," found in sunflower kernels also play a role in promoting optimal cardiovascular health.
