What is Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels

Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels are meticulously harvested from 100% pure, organically grown sunflowers. After harvesting, the seeds undergo a gentle mechanical dehulling process to separate the kernel from its outer shell. The kernels are then carefully cleaned and sorted to ensure only the highest quality, whole, and unblemished seeds are selected. The organic certification guarantees that the sunflowers are cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
