More information

At El Bici now you can buy caramelized sunflower seeds, the delicious peeled sunflower seeds with a sweet coating made from syrup. The process of sugar crystallization and caramelization on the dried fruit is completely handmade by ourselves, without being subjected to any industrial process. Our experience and care is reflected in the delicious resulting flavor, impossible to match in an industrial bag. Sunflower seeds have a multitude of properties that remain intact after the application of caramel, making them very beneficial with moderate regular consumption. Some of them are:

Minerals

This dried fruit is very rich in potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, minerals necessary for the proper functioning and maintenance of our body. They also provide a significant amount of calcium.

Fats

Like other nuts, sunflower seeds have a high energy contribution in the form of fatty acids. Most of them are unsaturated fats that, with controlled intakes, reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. They have a saturated fat content of just 5%.

Vitamins

They have a significant amount of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. Therefore, their consumption helps reduce damage from cellular oxidation.

Proteins With 27% protein, sunflower seeds are an important source of amino acids. Therefore, they are an ideal supplement for vegetarian or vegan diets, which may have a deficiency of these necessary molecules, whose usual source is animal products (although plant proteins do not contain all the amino acids the body needs, so they must be supplemented with other sources).
