What to know about sunflower seeds
Sunflower seeds are the friendlier seed for allergy-prone eaters, since sunflower is not one of the major labeled allergens, but they are still high in oxalate, high in nickel and high in lectins in their raw form. So the seed that feels safe after a sesame or tree-nut scare can still be a hidden trigger for oxalate, nickel or lectin sensitivity.
Watch for
- High in oxalate, so a daily trail-mix or seed-butter habit adds up for stone-formers
- High in nickel, one of the more common triggers on a low-nickel diet
- High in lectins when raw or sprouted; roasting lowers but does not remove them
- Not among the major labeled allergens, which is the main way they differ from sesame, peanuts or tree nuts
