Description: Sunflower seeds come from the sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus). While whole sunflower seeds can be consumed, many people prefer to eat just the kernel or the "meat" of the seed. On the outside of the kernel is a fibrous hull that can be difficult to digest. As said above, sunflower kernel is the "meat" of sunflower seed. When you buy sunflower kernels, it means the processor has mechanically removed the hull. The kernel is now in a convenient form to be sold raw, roasted for snacking, or used as an ingredient.
