FAQs

Why are sunflower seeds so high in Vitamin E?
Sunflower seeds are one of the single richest plant sources of Vitamin E, providing around 35mg per 100g — well over twice the adult NRV. Vitamin E acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant, protecting cell membranes from oxidative stress and supporting skin health and immune function. It works particularly well alongside Vitamin C and selenium, both of which are also found in a varied whole-food diet.

Are these suitable for baking?
Yes — hulled sunflower seeds are excellent in bread, muffins, flapjacks, and energy bars. They hold their shape through baking and add a pleasant crunch. Try adding 50g to a standard loaf recipe alongside pumpkin seeds and linseeds for a seeded loaf.

Are these raw or roasted?
Just Natural Organic Sunflower Seeds are raw (unroasted) and unsalted, retaining their full natural nutritional profile. You can eat them as-is or toast them briefly in a dry pan to enhance their flavour before using.

Are they gluten-free?
Yes — sunflower seeds are naturally gluten-free. However, they are packed in a facility that handles nuts, peanuts, soya, milk, sesame, and gluten-containing grains, so those with severe allergies should consider this.

What is the difference between hulled and whole sunflower seeds?
Hulled seeds have had the outer black-and-white striped shell removed, leaving the soft grey kernel inside. These are the most versatile for cooking — ready to eat, sprinkle, or blend. Whole seeds (with the shell) are typically sold as a snack for eating and cracking open, or used in bird feed.
