Sunflower seeds help to lower the risk of abnormal heartbeats, or arrhythmias, and triglyceride levels, slowing the growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque and reducing blood pressure. Consumers are increasingly opting for healthier alternatives and preferring healthier lifestyles; as a result, sunflower seeds are becoming more popular because they are high in vitamins, proteins, and minerals and can aid in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, asthma, and depression. For instance, in November 2021, according to the National Library of Medicine, a US-based provider that provides services in the medical and biomedical fields, sunflower seeds are high in nutrients with 33.85% protein, 65.42% lipids, and 18 minerals.

The seeds are a good source of essential (6.63%) and non-essential (93.37%) amino acids (the total AA content in the sample is 5790.26 nmol/g).
