Sunflower Seed Kernels - Organic Raw
Sunflower seed kernels are the edible part of the sunflower, a native North American plant with a long history of use.
Sunflower seed kernels have been eaten by Native Americans for centuries and were a staple in their diets.
Sunflower seed kernels are a source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, quality fats, vitamins, and minerals. As a crunchy topping, sunflower seed kernels can be eaten alone or added to salads, cereals, and other dishes.
They also make a great snack when mixed with nuts and dried fruit. Sunflower seed kernels are a great way to add quality and flavor to any meal.
