FAQs
Q: What is the typical protein percentage of your Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder?
A: Our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder typically contains between 50-55% protein (dry basis). Exact percentages are provided on the Certificate of Analysis for each batch.
Q: Is Organic Sunflower Seed Protein a complete protein?
A: While sunflower protein is rich in many essential amino acids, it’s lower in lysine. For a “complete” amino acid profile in a single product, it can be ideally combined with other plant proteins rich in lysine, like pea protein, to create a balanced blend.
Q: Is your Organic Sunflower Seed Protein suitable for gluten-free and vegan products?
A: Absolutely. Our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein is inherently gluten-free and 100% plant-based, making it perfectly suited for both vegan and gluten-free product formulations.
Q: How does the flavor profile of Organic Sunflower Seed Protein compare to other plant proteins like pea or soy?
A: Organic Sunflower Seed Protein is known for its relatively neutral and mild, slightly nutty flavor, often less “beany” than some pea proteins and without the characteristic taste of soy protein. This makes it highly versatile for flavor-sensitive applications.
Q: What is the shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Sunflower Seed Protein Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
