By its chemical composition, sunflower flour may well give a lot of points ahead of wheat flour. The vitamins, macro- and microelements present in its composition will be discussed below, but for now it is worth noting several unique amino acids, the source of which it is. Sunflower flour contains methionine, an essential amino acid that has a pronounced antidepressant effect, and also improves lipid metabolism — prevents the deposition of fat in the liver, removes toxins and toxic substances from the body, including heavy metals. In addition, methionine is known for its antihistamine action. Arginine is another important substance. It is conditionally irreplaceable, in other words, it is not produced in sufficient quantities in the body. Arginine effectively relieves vascular spasm, relieving angina attacks, and also stimulates blood circulation. Also, the composition of sunflower flour includes chlorogenic acid — a substance that is a recognized anti-carcinogen. It effectively prevents the development of diabetes and obesity, not allowing the blood glucose indicator to "go off scale". Phytin, an antioxidant that effectively removes heavy metal ions from the body, also has similar properties. Sunflower flour is rich in B vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, PP and minerals: potassium, calcium, zinc, selenium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, etc. Sunflower flour has 5 times more potassium than buckwheat and 19 times more than rice, 4.5 times more phosphorus than fish and 3.9 times more than buckwheat, twice as much magnesium than walnuts, 2.7 times more vitamin B6 than buckwheat, one and a half times more vitamin E than beef, one and a half times more protein than sturgeon caviar. Sunflower flour dishes are recommended as a tonic in the season of colds. The dietary fiber contained in the product works as a natural intestinal scrub, binding and removing toxins and toxic substances. Sunflower flour is absorbed very quickly, and in full. This property is explained by the fact that it contains no toxic proteins and active inhibitor proteins that can lower the rate of chemical reactions. Therefore, nutritionists recommend including sunflower flour in the presence of diseases of the lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract. It is also indicated for vitamin deficiency and general weakness of the body.
