The seeds may be eaten dried, roasted, or ground into nut butter and are common in birdseed mixes.
Sunflower, particularly its seeds and oil, has been used traditionally and is now recognized for its medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, potentially aiding in managing conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and skin issues.
