I weighed 4 sunflower seeds and got 170mg.

> This site says theer are about 160 seeds per pound

Well, it also says that "A pound of sunflower seeds weighs approximately 1/3 of an ounce (10 grams)" and "The average price per pound for sunflower seeds is 1,260" [sic: no units]. So you'll forgive me if I approach its other claims with a modicum of suspicion.

actually since a pound is around 450 grams, that would be 3 grams per seed, not 0.3 grams. So the 50 milligrams is off by almost 2 orders of magnitude.
