What is Sunflower Seed?

As the name suggests, the sunflower seed is the fruit of the sunflower plant. The term seed is really a misnomer. Since the ‘seed’ does contain inside the pericarp or hull, technically it is a cypsela.

However, the hull is inedible. The edible portion is within the hull and is technically its heart or kernel. Nevertheless, in layman’s terms, it means referred to as a ‘seed’.

Botanically speaking, there are three varieties of sunflower seeds. The most common and most popular is the linoleic variety. The other two remain identified as high oleic, the latter of which continues developed uniquely for extracting sunflower oil.

The classification of the sunflower seeds is based on the different levels of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids in them. From a commercial perspective, however, the classification is based on the husk’s pattern.

Sunflower seeds with a solid black husk are called oil sunflower seeds, and as the name suggests, these seeds are pressed to extract oil. Sunflower seeds with a striped husk are used for culinary purposes and may be called confectionery sunflower seeds.
