Tasty and simple uses of Organic Sunflower Seeds

Sprinkle on Salad, make sunflower seed oil, use it in breads and muffins or add them in other food dishes. These are some of the simple uses of organic sunflower seeds.

Sunflower seeds are technically the fruits of the sunflower plant. The seeds are harvested from the plant’s large flower heads, which may contain up to 2,000 seeds. There are two main types of sunflower crops. The sunflower seeds you eat are encased naturally in an inedible black and white striped shell, also called hulls. Organic sunflower seeds have a mild, nutty flavour and a firm yet tender texture. They are often roasted to enhance their flavour, though you can also consume them raw. 

When sunflower seeds are sprouted, their plant compounds increase. Sprouting also reduces factors that can interfere with mineral absorption furthermore.
