Sunflower-Bakers Kernels

It is a native species to North America and was used by American Indians for an important, high-energy food source. Spanish explorers carried it with them to Europe. Sunflower seed kernels often appear on salad bars, but also add crunch and nutrients when used in waffle and pancake batter, as a topping for casseroles and steamed vegetables, or as a garnish on grain dishes, tuna salad and canned fruit. Offer them in baked goods and on sundae bars. Sprouted sunflower seeds add interest to salads and sandwiches.

Storage

Store whole raw kernels in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to three months.
