They are safe and high in vitamin E, but buy roasted, unsalted ones if possible to avoid extra sodium. Just check with your doctor once if you have any allergies.

Beta, you can eat them but do not have too much. In pregnancy, excess of anything warm can cause issues, so just a small spoonful daily is enough.

Actually, sunflower seeds are super good for you, yaar. They have folic acid and nice fats, so I used to sprinkle them on my yogurt everyday.

I was always so scared to eat anything new because of my past loss. But my doctor assured me that a handful of sunflower seeds is completely safe and nutritious. Just wash them well before eating.

They are a great quick snack for office. I used to keep a small jar of roasted sunflower seeds at my desk to munch on during busy hours.
