Dehulled sunflower kernels

What are sunflower kernels?

Sunflower kernels are the dehulled, edible center of the sunflower seed — the outer shell is removed to leave a ready-to-use kernel valued for its mild, nutty flavor and versatility. They're a rich source of protein, healthy unsaturated fats, and vitamin E, and are supplied non-GMO, raw or roasted, salted or unsalted.

Grown and processed in Bulgaria, our sunflower kernels are cleaned, sorted and graded to consistent size and quality before packing, so every shipment performs the same way in your production line.
