Sunflower protein

Sunflower protein is made by cold-pressing whole sunflower kernels to extract the oil.

Once the oil is removed, the resulting pressed seed, or “press cake”, is milled into a powder. It is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all the essential amino acids.

Sunflower protein consists largely of albumins and globulins and, consequently, has a high intrinsic solubility. Nowadays, the main market outlet for sunflower protein relies on animal feed.
