About Seeds, sunflower seed flour, partially defatted
Sunflower seeds are the edible seeds of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus), a plant native to North America and harvested from the center of its iconic golden flower head, which turns to follow the sun. Encased in black-and-white striped shells, the tender gray kernels have a mild, nutty flavor and satisfying crunch. They are a nutritious snack, rich in healthy unsaturated fats, plant protein, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, and copper.
Roasted and salted, in-shell seeds are eaten by the handful and are a ballpark staple, while shelled kernels are sprinkled over salads, yogurt, and baked goods or stirred into granola and trail mix. Ground into a smooth spread, they make sunflower seed butter, a nut-free alternative for those with allergies, and the seeds are also pressed into mild, high-heat sunflower oil. Because their unsaturated oils can turn rancid over time, store the kernels in an airtight container in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator, and buy them fresh, since old seeds taste bitter.
