Product Overview
Description
The sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower (Helianthus annulus). The term “sunflower seed” is actually a misnomer when applied to the seed in its per carp hulls. Botanically speaking, it is a cypsela. When dehulled, the edible remainder is called the sunflower kernel or heart.
It produces grayish-green or black seeds encased in tear-dropped shaped gray or black shells that oftentimes feature black and white stripes. Since these seeds have a very high oil content, they are one of the main sources used to produce polyunsaturated oil. Shelled sunflower seeds have a mild nutty taste and firm, but tender texture.
