A: Yes, Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids necessary for human health.

A: Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is inherently nut-free as it comes from seeds, not tree nuts or peanuts. We implement stringent internal protocols to minimize cross-contamination with major allergens. However, suitability for a certified “nut-free facility” ultimately depends on your facility’s specific allergen management program.

A: No, Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is known for its mild, neutral flavor compared to many other plant proteins like pea or hemp, making it highly versatile for various formulations without imparting strong off-notes. It may have a subtle earthy or nutty undertone.
Q: How does its digestibility compare to other plant proteins?
A: Due to its gentle cold-pressing and milling process, Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder offers excellent digestibility, ensuring that the amino acids are readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
