Just one cup of sunflower seeds provides 30% of the recommended daily intake for vitamin B6. Sunflower seeds are also loaded with two other important of PCOS busting minerals: zinc and magnesium. Kale is an excellent source of calcium, which has an important role in egg maturation and follicle development in the ovaries.
