Seeds are designed by nature to pass through the body intact, ensuring they retain their integrity to sprout and grow into new plants. However, this natural protection also makes it harder for us to access their full nutritional potential.
Through a process known as "activation," we unlock the goodness inside sunflower seeds. This involves soaking the seeds to release enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, followed by low-temperature dehydration to preserve their natural enzymes and nutrients.
The result? A light, crunchy, and deliciously crisp seed with a slightly salty taste.
Why Choose Activated Sunflower Seeds?
Sunflower seeds are naturally rich in: ✔ Plant-based protein, making them a great addition to a balanced diet ✔ Essential minerals, including magnesium, selenium, and copper ✔ Vitamin E, a naturally occurring antioxidant ✔ Healthy fats, including polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats

Further Information
You may be wondering what Activated means? Strict EU regulations forbid us from revealing too much, but we can say that we have a dedicated team of highly trained fairy folk who stay up all night sprinkling their magic dust over the entire factory in order to take the activation process to the next level. We only employ the most skilled fairy folk in the land, so we can confidently say that these nuts are as activated as they come.
