USA Sunflower Seed Suppliers and Manufacturers

The sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower (Helianthus annulus). The term â??sunflower seedâ?? is actually a misnomer when applied to the seed in its per carp hulls. Botanically speaking, it is a cypsela. When dehulled, the edible remainder is called the sunflower kernel or heart. It is a tall, erect, herbaceous annual plant belonging to the family of Asteraceae, in the genus, Helianthus. Its botanical name is Helianthus annulus. It is native to Middle American region from where it spread as an important commercial crop all over the world through the European explorers. Today, Russian Union, China, USA, and Argentina are the leading producers of sunflower crop. It produces grayish-green or black seeds encased in tear-dropped shaped gray or black shells that oftentimes feature black and white stripes. Since these seeds have a very high oil content, they are one of the main sources used to produce polyunsaturated oil. Shelled sunflower seeds have a mild nutty taste and firm, but tender texture. Their taste is oftentimes compared with the Jerusalem artichoke (not to be confused with the bulb artichoke), another member of the Helianthus family. Sweet, nutty sunflower seeds are an excellent source of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Sunflower kernels actually employed to extract edible oil at commercial levels. Besides being eaten as popular snacks, they are also used in the kitchen to prepare variety of recipes.

Organic High Oleic Sunflower is a vertical Organic Process, our supplier chooses the organic seeds that need to be crushed, they then oversee the crushing of the seeds into a liquid. Additionally, a large ORGANIC refinery processes the oil into the finished High Oleic Sunflower we bring to market. Important controls and specification are followed by an extensive QA/QC team to insure quality and ORGANIC status. DESCRIPTION New hybrids of the traditional sunflower species produce an oil unusually high in oleic acid (C18:1). The appearance of this new hybrid only differs in the color of the kernel shells from off white to silver gray compared to black resp. black stripes. The seed is pressed and then extracted. The subsequent 4 step refining (deacidification, bleaching, steam deodorization, and winterization) results in a very light transparent refined high oleic sunflower seed oil with excellent oxidative stability.

It is therefore, particularly suited as a fat component and carrier for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. Its usage in food: in baker's ware and pastries (un-hydrogenated spray oil), baby food and margarines, as a baking and frying oil (high smoke point). Like olive oil, high oleic sunflower seed oil is believed to favorably influence the human cholesterol metabolism due to its high content of monounsaturated oleic acid (C18:1).
