Sunflower

Sunflower (black oil) is an overachiever. Not only is it absolutely loaded with nutrients that supports weight management, aids digestion, strengthens bones, and helps muscles function well, it is also a source of complete protein with all essential amino acids which your body needs to function. Due to the mass use of GMO crops and glyphosate, it is ever-so-important to choose organic. Glyphosate inhibits the production of essential amino acids and is the cause of or a major factor in causing cancers, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, and even autism (click here to read our blog post about the downfall of America’s health).
