Organic Sunflower Kernels

Sunflower kernels are the seeds of the sunflower plant, removed from their shells. They are typically harvested, dried, and then shelled. The kernels can be eaten raw or roasted.

Sunflower kernels are often used as a snack food or as an ingredient in trail mixes, baked goods, and salads. They add a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture to foods. Manufacturers may also use them to make sunflower butter or oil.

Sunflower kernels are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food. They are a source of nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sunflower seeds and their derivatives. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
