Product & processing

Sunflower seeds are sold in-shell for snacks and as hulled kernels for food manufacturing. Confectionery, bakery and high-oleic designations refer to different requirements; the appropriate form should follow the intended use.

Food industry applications

Large, uniform kernels suit visible snack and confectionery applications. Bakery kernels, chopped material and meal suit different recipe and dosing needs. Oil is a separate processed product.
