What it is

Sunflower seed protein is a plant-based protein derived from sunflower seeds. After the oil is extracted from the seeds, the remaining meal is processed to isolate and concentrate the protein content. This results in a powder that can be used as a protein source.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sunflower seed protein to boost the protein content of foods. It is often found in plant-based protein powders, nutritional bars, and baked goods. Its neutral flavor and good solubility make it a versatile ingredient for various food applications.

Health notes

Sunflower seed protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It provides essential amino acids and can contribute to meeting daily protein needs. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated proteins from various sources, and EFSA has also assessed food ingredients. Evidence suggests plant proteins can be part of a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Sunflower seed protein is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
