SUNFLOWER SEEDS
The Red Indians of America cultivated sunflowers long
before Europeans discovered them. At present, the Russians
are the largest sunflower seed producers in the world. The
seeds have a hard black-and-white striped shell that must be removed (either in or out of the shell), and are sold either plain
or salted. They can be eaten as a snack, used in salads or sandwiches or added to a variety of cooked dishes or baked
goods. The iron-rich sunflower seeds are, by weight, 47 percent
fat and 24 percent protein. The pale yellow, delicately flavored sunflower-seed oil extracted from the seed contents very high polyunsaturated fat and low in aturated fat. Though it has a relatively low smoke point, sunflower-seed oil is used in cooking
as well as for salad dressings.
