Raw and Dietary

Sunflower is pretty new world source of oils and proteins to humankind. It was known for centuries to natives in America continent and wild sunflower seeds were used in many tribal rituals. Some two hundred years ago sunflower was re-invented in modern society both as pretty looking flower and industrial source of food.

An unknown fact is that sunflower seeds are source of more unsaturated Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats than olives – standard in dietary foods. Modern food diets usually underestimate value of fats for human body, but it is essential.

Our sunflower kernels for raw consumption are produced under strict hygiene conditions. Product is suitable for direct use as additive to fresh salads. Muesli industrial producers add raw grade sunflower kernels into their products to improve taste and outlook.
