Sunflower Powder

Sunflower powder is made from dried, ground sunflower seeds. The seeds are typically hulled, pressed to remove oil, and then ground into a fine powder. It is a plant-based ingredient.

Manufacturers add sunflower powder as a source of plant-based protein and fiber. It can also act as a natural emulsifier and contribute a mild, nutty flavor. It is often found in protein powders, baked goods, and dairy-free milk alternatives.

Sunflower powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sunflower seeds and their components, but no specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels of sunflower powder.
