Are sunflower seeds a good vitamin E source?

Yes — a single ounce delivers roughly half the daily target for adults, more than almonds or hazelnuts.

Is in-shell tokhmeh better than shelled?

Nutritionally they are the same — but the slow ritual of cracking each shell paces the eater, which makes the portion naturally smaller and more satisfying. Alternate to spare tooth enamel.

A small handful (about 1 oz / 28 g) daily is the sweet spot — enough to meet a large share of the vitamin-E target without displacing other whole foods.
