The inside of sunflower seeds, commonly known as the kernel, is the edible and nutrient-rich part found after removing the outer shell. These kernels are small, flat, and oval-shaped with a smooth texture and a light cream to pale beige color. When roasted, the inside becomes crunchier and develops a richer, toasted taste. Due to its delicate texture and pleasant flavor, the sunflower kernel blends easily into both sweet and savory recipes. The kernel of the Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is widely used in salads, granola, protein mixes, bakery items, and energy snacks. It is also used into sunflower seed butter or pressed to produce sunflower oil.
