FAQs

Q: Are your Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels truly nut-free and suitable for allergen-sensitive facilities?

A: While we guarantee our Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels are naturally nut-free, cross-contamination prevention depends on your specific facility’s practices. We ensure stringent protocols on our end to minimize cross-contact with common allergens during processing and packaging. Please discuss your specific allergen protocols with our sales team.

Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?

A: Our Organic Sunflower Seed Kernels typically have a shelf life of 12-18 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and strong odors, in their original sealed, airtight packaging. Refrigeration or freezing can extend shelf life, especially after opening.

Q: Can these kernels be roasted or seasoned by the buyer?
