Sunflower seed protein is derived from defatted sunflower kernel meal, offering a mild-tasting, sustainable upcycled protein. Its chlorogenic acid content can cause greening in alkaline conditions, so pH control is important.

Plant / alternative protein powder for nutrition, meal replacement and fortification.
