Sunflower seeds

[Guest guest]

I had my wife purchase some sunflower seeds, and she brought home a small

package as a sample made by Planters. They're actually sunflower seed curnels.

A serving contains 3 grams of fiber, 5 carbs, 14 grams of fat, but 160 calories.

The serving size is about an eighth of a cup. The package says they're an

excellent source of vitamin e. I suspect Planters would sacrifice some of the

nutritional value for flavor and I will look at other manufacturers next. But,

I wonder how important vitamin e is, and if this is a good way to increase this

vitamin. Also, I think the calories are high, but based on only 5 carbs per

serving, I might be inclined to disregard the relatively high calories. Thanks

for any comments.
