About Sunflower seed flour

Sunflower seed flour is made by grinding sunflower seeds, often after some or most of their oil has been removed. It is a fine, pale beige to greyish meal with a nutty, seed-like flavour and can be used in baking or as part of a flour blend.

Products vary in fineness and in how much oil remains, so they may differ in richness and how they behave in recipes. It is sold as a dry flour or meal; it should not be treated as interchangeable with whole sunflower seeds or sunflower protein isolate.

Laboratory results for one raw, full-fat sunflower-seed flour sample. The paper reports a dry-weight basis; partially defatted commercial flour will have materially different values.

Oil content depends on whether the flour is made from whole or partly defatted seeds, and milling affects the form. Compare products with similar processing rather than treating all sunflower flours as equivalent.
