Sunflower Seed Protein

Sunflower Seed Protein is a concentrated plant protein ingredient made from sunflower seeds and commonly used in vegan and vegetarian foods, protein bars and meat alternatives. It is valued for its neutral flavor and versatile functionality in cooking and formulations. As an ingredient it delivers about 55g of protein per 100g while also contributing fiber and unsaturated fats; it is a notable plant source of vitamin E and minerals like copper and manganese. Because it is a refined plant protein, it offers a practical way to boost protein in plant-based diets and supplies antioxidant vitamin E and some fibre, though it is a processed ingredient best used as part of a varied whole-food diet.
