What it is

Organic sunflower is the seed of the sunflower plant, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The seeds are harvested, cleaned, and often pressed to extract their oil, or used whole/shelled in various food products.

Why it's used

Sunflower seeds and oil are used for their nutty flavor and healthy fats. They appear in snacks like trail mixes and energy bars, as well as in baked goods and as a cooking oil.

Health notes

Sunflower oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of vitamin E and unsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated sunflower oil and established an acceptable daily intake. Some research suggests that diets rich in unsaturated fats may be beneficial for heart health, but evidence is mixed on specific long-term health outcomes.

Allergen info

Sunflower is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
