Grain Place Foods Organic Bakery Sunflower Kernals 1.5lb Bag

A sunflower kernel is a sunflower seed minus the pericarp (shell). These are ready to enjoy raw, roasted or in a variety of recipes. Use them in granola; sprinkle them on salads, in breads...wherever you'd like a delightful nutty crunch and nutritional boost. The cultivated sunflower is one of 67 species of the genus Helianthus - literally, sun flower - all native to the Americas. It has been cultivated for thousands of years, originally in Mexico and Peru. Sunflower seeds make a tasty and nutritious snack with a bonus of a significant dose of vitamin E, the body's primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Sunflower oil, derived from sunflower kernels, is another valuable product from Helianthus.
