The calorie-content of Sunflower seeds
[edit]"They are also low calorie food." (last sentence under "health benefits"). Sunflower seeds contain 570 kcal per 100 gram. For comparison pure sugar contains 390 kcal per 100gram, and broccoli 30 kcal per 100gram. This statement about the calorie-content should be omitted, although one can more easily consume 100 grams of coca-cola (about 50 calories) than 100 grams of sunflower seeds. /Björn Ahlman
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, so I changed it. Thanks for the message though. Masparasol (talk) 01:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Nutritional information serving size
[edit]The recommended serving size of sunflower seed kernels is 32g, why is information given for a 100g serving? 100g of sunflower kernels is a ton... measure out that much and tell me that is a single serving. Debollweevil (talk) 04:14, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- "100g of sunflower kernels is a ton" - hilarious. You might mention that not only do they contain a lot of Vitamin E, but they are actually one of the richest known sources of this nutrient in the human diet.
- Serving sizes for nutrient contents in foods described on Wikipedia are listed as 100 g servings to allow comparisons from food to food in the same consumed amount -- it's standard science to relate content to a 100 g sample. Here's one link where you can use the pick list to choose a smaller amount, such as one ounce (28 g) to display the DV (47%) for vitamin E which is the highest-content nutrient in sunflower seeds. Here's another link where you can scan the USDA nutrient data on a variety of foods containing vitamin E. The article section and table on nutrition do show the substantial amount of vitamin E, and you are right: according to the USDA database, sunflower seeds appear to be densest food for vitamin E content. Personally, I don't think it adds much to declare sunflower seeds "the richest known source of this nutrient in the human diet." --Zefr (talk) 19:33, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
Image in Uses section
[edit]The Left frame Right frame image, what's that all about. They all seem to be the same image. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, okay. I get it. It's a magic eye thing. Shouldn't there be a header saying so? Visitors will not know. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
There are a few things I'd like to change about the stereo image template, like omitting the "right" "left" options and simply showing the right image, then the parallel and cross options, also an option to specify whether the original is normal or backwards. I think a header isn't really needed, if you know how to view the pairs you should be able to figure it out, if not then it is basically just another image. John Alan Elson★ WF6I A.P.O.I. 23:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% clear on what you mean. But, I'd sure like the header. :) Maybe further discussion would be a good idea at Template talk:Stereo image#Heading. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Allergy
[edit]There is a note about sunflower seeds being used as an alternative to peanuts for people with a peanut allergy, so I added info about sunflower seeds possibly being their own allergy. Could use more references or further explanation. Misteranderson91 (talk) 03:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- There isn't much good literature on sunflower seed allergies, with the majority of studies done 20+ years ago and limited to case reports (listing of a PubMed search here). Zefr (talk) 03:48, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
A dish made of sunflower seeds
[edit]Industrial-grade "kozinak"
[edit]Various condiments made with caramel-like products and seeds, nuts etc. would be "kozinak", according to the Russian definition.[1] The most common "kozinak" in Russia is made with peeled sunflower seeds and molasses.</ref>
Thing is, "kozinak" in Russia is way too different to qualify for the same name as Georgian gozinaki.
Is this a good piece of data to add to the article? 2A00:1FA0:4321:C9C4:17B5:E157:F4B3:D62C (talk) 11:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC) 2A00:1FA0:4321:C9C4:17B5:E157:F4B3:D62C (talk) 11:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
