Nutritional Notes: Sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds used to be just for birdfeeders but today have become
a popular food snack as well as an ingredient in many other foods.
Sunflower seeds contain carbohydrates and protein for energy and fats
for healthy skin and coat, and they are a good source of minerals for
vital body functions. As an added plus, they give an appealing nutty
taste to dog treats. 1 ounce of roasted, unsalted husked sunflower
