Candy Sunflower Nuts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sunny Seed Drops

— September 14, 2007 — Lifestyle
These candy and chocolate-coated sunflower seeds make for a fun, edible harvest decoration. Eat them as is or add them to your cookies for a healthier chocolate chip alternative. As well as being delicious, sunflower seeds are very nutritious; one handful packs 90% of your daily vitamin E needs, they're full of magnesium and B1 vitamins and they help lower your cholesterol.

The Boston Globe said, "Indulge your sweet tooth without (too much) guilt. Sunflower seeds contain unsaturated fats, protein and fiber -- all things that are good for you, regardless of which diet of the day you follow."
Trend Themes
1. Candy-coated Sunflower Seeds - Innovative candy products using sunflower seeds offer a unique and healthier alternative to traditional chocolate treats.
2. Edible Harvest Decorations - The trend of using candy and chocolate-coated sunflower seeds as decorative elements for harvest displays presents an opportunity for the gift and home decor industry.
3. Health-conscious Snacking - The growing popularity of sunflower seeds as a nutritious snack option opens up possibilities for the healthy snack food industry to develop innovative products and flavors.
Industry Implications
1. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can capitalize on the trend of candy-coated sunflower seeds by creating new products that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
2. Gifts and Home Decor - The gifts and home decor industry can embrace the trend of edible harvest decorations by offering products that incorporate candy and chocolate-coated sunflower seeds.
3. Healthy Snack Foods - With the rise in demand for health-conscious snacks, the healthy snack food industry can take advantage of the popularity of sunflower seeds and develop innovative snack options.
