Celebrate The Power of Seeds!!!
Do you know how healthy sunflower seeds are for you? Somersault Snack Co. does, sunflower seeds, the #1 ingredient in Somersaults, are a nutritionally dense food, power packed with antioxidants, protein, vitamin E, minerals and healthy fats. Sunflower seeds are packed with four times more antioxidants than blueberries, walnuts, and peanuts, boosting the immune system and lowering blood pressure and bad cholesterol. Sunflower seeds offer 17% of the recommended daily allowance of folate in a 1 oz. serving. This essential nutrient is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells and is especially important during pregnancy. Sunflower seeds have as much potassium as almonds, offering about 200mg of potassium per 1 oz. serving, playing an important role in decreasing blood pressure and establishing proper nerve function and muscle control. Sunflower seeds are the best whole-food source of vitamin E, a nutrient that may slow the effects of aging, boosts the immune system and prevents cardiovascular disease.
Sunflower seeds have even more health benefits than I have listed above and they are delicious. Somersault Snacks quest to bake the perfect snack led them to the miraculous sunflower. Somersaults have a healthy bunch of sunflower and sesame seeds in every nugget. In fact, Somersaults are a good source of fiber, vitamin E and offer you the same protein as almonds, but with fewer calories and less fat. Somersaults are available in 3 convenient sizes and 4 scrumptious flavors.
I recently received a sample assortment of Somersaults. They were quite unlike any snack food I have had. The Cinnamon Crunch and Dutch Cocoa were my favorites. They also have savory flavors like salty pepper and santa fe salsa. You really taste the sunflowers in these baked crunchy snacks and they are delicious. The only thing I did not like was their bags, which were really hard to get open. I had to end up cutting them and even when I used the tear strip above a zip lock seal the bag did not open right and it took a lot of tugging, pulling and ripping before I could open the bag. This is not a big deal if you are in your kitchen but if you are taking them along on a hike or are in the car, it can pose a problem. My constructive suggestion to them would be to make the packaging more user-friendly. Other than that, these delicious unique snacks are packed with tons of flavor and nutrition to get you through your busy days.
