Organic Shelled Sunflower Seeds Sun-Snack 500 g
Organic shelled sunflower seeds by Sun-Snack are a natural, vegan dry ingredient supplied in a resealable 500 g pack. Certified organic and ready to use, they offer a delicate nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch, making them a staple raw material for bakeries, pastry shops, restaurants and delis across Switzerland that value a clean-label, long-shelf-life product.
What Are Shelled Sunflower Seeds
Shelled (hulled) sunflower seeds are the edible kernels of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) with the outer husk removed. They are naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium and selenium, which is why they have become a pantry essential in professional kitchens looking for plant-based nutrition and texture.
Organic Quality
The organic (BIO) certification guarantees that the seeds are cultivated without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers, following controlled organic farming standards. This makes them a transparent, clean-label choice for menus that highlight natural and sustainable ingredients.
Sensory Profile
Left natural, the kernels are mild, slightly sweet and crunchy. Toasted in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 8 to 10 minutes, they develop a deeper, nutty aroma and a golden colour, ideal as a finishing touch or a topping.
Technical Specifications
Each pack contains 500 g of organic shelled sunflower seeds with a resealable twist closure. As a dry ambient product, no cold chain is required: store in a cool, dry place between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius, with humidity below 60 percent, away from direct heat and light to prevent the natural oils from turning rancid.
Professional Uses
Sunflower seeds are extremely versatile in professional cooking and baking: fold them into rustic bread and focaccia doughs, sprinkle them over salads and bowls, blend them into muesli and granola, use them as a crunchy topping for yoghurt and desserts, or toast them as a vegan snack and aperitif. They also make an excellent base for plant-based spreads and energy bars.
Pairings
Pair them with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt for a simple toasted snack, combine them with dried fruit and other seeds for trail mixes, or add them to flour-based bakes alongside honey and wholegrain ingredients for a nutritious result.
