What is Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder?

Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is a premium plant-based protein source derived from 100% organic sunflower seeds. It offers a clean, sustainable alternative to soy, dairy, and pea proteins. This powder is highly valued for its impressive amino acid profile, high digestibility, and mild nutty flavor. It is an ideal ingredient for clean-label, vegan, and keto-friendly formulations.

Elevate your product line with our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder. Sourced from non-GMO organic sunflower seeds, this protein is produced using a gentle cold-pressing and mechanical milling process. This method preserves the natural nutrients while concentrating the protein content. Because it is naturally free from common allergens like gluten, soy, and dairy, it serves as a versatile solution for health-conscious consumers. It meets the growing demand for sustainable, whole-food nutrition that supports muscle recovery and overall vitality.

Product Overview

Our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is manufactured through a chemical-free, mechanical extraction process. After the organic sunflower seeds are cold-pressed to remove the oil, the remaining “cake” is finely milled into a high-protein powder. This ensures the finished product is rich in essential nutrients and fiber. The organic certification guarantees that no synthetic pesticides or chemical solvents were used during cultivation or processing.

This protein source is prized for its balanced functional and nutritional profile:

How to Use

Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder is highly versatile. Follow these guidelines for optimal results:

For Beverages

Use it to thicken soups or creamy sauces while adding nutritional value.

Industrial Applications:

For large-scale manufacturing, add to dry mixes or extruded plant-based meat alternatives to improve texture and nutritional scores.

Why Choose Our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder?

FAQs

Q: Why does the powder sometimes turn green in baking?

A: Sunflower seeds contain chlorogenic acid. When baked with alkaline ingredients like baking soda, it can create a harmless green tint. This can be balanced by adding a small amount of acidic ingredients like lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

Q: Is this a complete protein?

A: It contains all essential amino acids. While it is slightly lower in lysine than soy, it is exceptionally high in sulfur-containing amino acids and BCAAs.

Q: What is the typical shelf life?

A: It typically has a shelf life of 18 to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging.
