In today’s world, sustainability has become a crucial component of decision making when purchasing food products. In fact, 47% Canadians have claimed that they are actively looking for food products that have minimal impact on the environment 1. Canadians are also looking for more transparency with ingredients in the food products they purchase. So, when looking for sustainable, non-GMO, healthy ingredients, you should consider sunflower kernels for all your product formulations.
USA grown sunflower kernels are the perfect example of a sustainable product that can be used in snack bars, bakery products, plant-based foods, and salad toppings. Sunflower crops have deep tap roots that enrich and rejuvenate the soil. Moreover, they require much less water than other crops and reduce soil erosion which helps reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
