Q1: What Are Common Concerns When Buying Sunflower Seeds Shelled, Raw Online?

Q3: Where Do Raw Shelled Sunflower Seeds Come From?

Raw shelled sunflower seeds are harvested from the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus), which thrives in regions like Eastern Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. The seeds are extracted, cleaned, and dehulled without roasting to retain their raw nutritional properties. These seeds have long been valued for their versatility and rich content of healthy fats, protein, and minerals.

Q4: Where Does Delivisor Source Its Sunflower Seeds Shelled, Raw?

Delivisor partners directly with sustainable farms in Eastern Europe and the American Midwest, known for producing some of the world’s finest sunflowers.

The seeds are cold-processed and carefully hulled before being vacuum-sealed to preserve their raw, nutrient-dense profile.

Q5: How Can You Use Raw Shelled Sunflower Seeds in Cooking?

Raw sunflower kernels are incredibly versatile and can be incorporated into daily meals with ease:

Q6: How Are Raw Sunflower Seeds Different from Roasted Ones?

• Raw: Unheated and unprocessed, raw seeds retain all natural enzymes and offer a milder flavor with higher nutrient density.
• Roasted: Subjected to heat, enhancing flavor and crunch but slightly reducing vitamin content. Often salted or seasoned.
• Usage: Raw seeds are ideal for blending, baking, or raw snacking, while roasted ones are preferred for direct snacking or topping.

The process to prepare these seeds while maintaining their raw integrity involves:

1. Harvesting: Sunflowers are harvested once the seeds mature and dry.
2. Cleaning: Seeds are cleaned thoroughly to remove debris and impurities.
3. Shelling: A mechanical process separates the outer hull without using heat.
4. Sorting & Packaging: Only intact, clean seeds are selected, then sealed in airtight, BPA-free packaging.
