What it is

Sunflower seed flour is made from ground sunflower seeds. The seeds are typically hulled and then milled into a fine powder. It is a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour.

Why it's used

Health notes

Sunflower seed flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar food ingredients, but specific evaluations for sunflower seed flour are not widely publicized. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
