Sunflower seeds are technically the fruits of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). The seeds are harvested from the plantâ??s large flower heads, which can measure more than 12 inches (30.5cm) in diameter. A single sunflower head may contain up to 2,000 seeds. There are two main types of sunflower crops. One type is grown for the seeds you eat, while the other â?? which is the majority farmed â?? is grown for the oil. The sunflower seeds you eat are encased in inedible black-and-white striped shells, also called hulls. Those used for extracting sunflower oil have solid black shells. Sunflower seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and a firm but tender texture. Theyâ??re often roasted to enhance the flavor, though you can also buy them raw. Studies found that consumption of seeds â?? including sunflower seeds â?? was linked to lower rates of cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Sunflower seeds are a source of many vitamins and minerals that can support your immune system and increase your ability to fight off viruses. MOQ: 15 MT Supplied from China or South America.
Sunflower seeds are edible seeds harvested from the large, iconic flowers of the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). These small, tear-shaped seeds are encased in a black-and-white striped shell, with the edible kernel inside. Sunflower seeds are highly nutritious, containing a rich combination of healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins (such as vitamin E), and minerals (like magnesium and selenium). They are appreciated for their nutty and slightly sweet flavor, making them a popular snack when roasted and salted. Additionally, sunflower seeds can be incorporated into various dishes, including salads, baked goods, and granola, offering a delightful crunch and a nutritional boost. These seeds are not only a tasty and convenient snack but also contribute to a well-rounded and health-conscious diet.
The sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower (Helianthus annulus). The term â??sunflower seedâ?? 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 is a tall, erect, herbaceous annual plant belonging to the family of Asteraceae, in the genus, Helianthus. Its botanical name is Helianthus annulus. It is native to Middle American region from where it spread as an important commercial crop all over the world through the European explorers. Today, Russian Union, China, USA, and Argentina are the leading producers of sunflower crop. 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. Their taste is oftentimes compared with the Jerusalem artichoke (not to be confused with the bulb artichoke), another member of the Helianthus family. Sweet, nutty sunflower seeds are an excellent source of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Sunflower kernels actually employed to extract edible oil at commercial levels. Besides being eaten as popular snacks, they are also used in the kitchen to prepare variety of recipes.
