Organic shelled sunflowers (gluten-free) BIO PLANET, 1 kg

Shelled sunflower seeds, often simply referred to as "sunflower kernels" or "shelled sunflower seeds," are the edible seeds found in the hard outer shell of sunflower seeds. These seeds are harvested from sunflower blossoms and are a popular snack and ingredient in various culinary dishes.

Organic sunflower seeds are grown and produced using organic farming methods. Organic farming is an approach to agriculture that emphasizes sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the avoidance of synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and artificial additives. Usually, in order to protect nuts from pests and keep them as long as possible, they are exposed to artificial chemicals - pesticides, and as you know, many pesticides are toxic and dangerous to human health. For this reason, it is important to choose certified, organic products.

Organic hulled sunflower seeds are usually sold in grocery stores and markets shelled, making them easy to eat and use. The latter have a light nutty flavor and a soft, chewy texture. These seeds are often eaten as a snack, added to salads and baked goods such as bread or muffins, and used as a sprinkle on porridge, yogurt and oatmeal. Sunflower seeds are also often used in various mixes, granola recipes, and are sometimes ground into sunflower seed butter, which can be used as a spread similar to peanut butter or almond butter.

Shelled sunflower seeds are a good source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and a variety of essential nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium. They are a popular choice among individuals looking for a nutritious and convenient snack or looking for an alternative to nuts due to allergies or dietary habits.
