Dry-roasted salted sunflower seed kernels retain the excellent vitamin E, selenium, copper, magnesium, and phosphorus of raw sunflower seeds with enhanced Maillard flavour and no added oil. The added salt increases sodium, which should be factored in for those monitoring daily intake.
A 30g portion is standard; their small size and pleasant crunch make them easy to over-snack. Unsalted dry-roasted sunflower seeds are equally nutritious without the sodium.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
