Bakery Grade Sunflower Kernels (Wholesale)
Agros-98's Bakery Grade hulled sunflower kernels are produced from sunflower varieties grown on our own farmland in the Varna region under a strictly monitored low-pesticide cultivation program. After harvest, the raw seeds proceed through mechanical hulling, aspiration, and advanced gravity-separation to achieve an exceptional minimum purity specification of 99.98%.
The standard bakery size range — calibrated to 550 to 600 pieces per ounce (pcs/oz) — delivers a highly consistent kernel profile that toasts evenly and integrates uniformly into commercial bread doughs, soft rolls, crackers, and granola clusters. The natural white-to-light-grey kernel colour provides excellent visual contrast in finished artisan baked goods.
Our Bakery Grade guarantees an oil content of 45–50% and a strict moisture maximum of 8% for optimal shelf stability. Processing takes place in our fully integrated, FSSC 22000-certified Suvorovo facility. Full documentation including a batch-specific COA, Certificate of Origin, and EUR.1 movement certificates is supplied with every bulk container shipment.
Confectionery Grade Sunflower Kernels
Our Confectionery Grade kernels represent the largest and most visually perfect whole-kernel fraction extracted from our multi-stage hulling operation. Hand-selected for ultimate uniform shape and a pure, unblemished white appearance, these premium kernels are sized precisely at 450 to 500 pieces per ounce (pcs/oz). Their significant visual and textural impact makes them the industry standard for retail snack mixes, premium trail mixes, coated chocolate confections, and gourmet savoury toppings.
To meet the demanding requirements of direct-to-consumer packaging, broken kernel content is held to an extraordinarily strict maximum of 2%, ensuring a premium intact-kernel ratio in your finished product. Furthermore, the colour specification demands pure white to light-cream kernels, strictly eliminating grey or off-tones. We achieve a virtually flawless 99.99% purity through secondary optical sorting lines.
Kosher and Halal documentation is available on request. This flagship grade dominates the European premium snack food and private-label grocery market, supplied in standard 25 kg paper bags or efficient 1,000 kg industrial big-bags.
Sunflower Kernel Chips (Broken Seeds)
Sunflower kernel chips are a natural by-product of our hulling and sizing process — pieces that fall outside the whole-kernel size fractions. Despite their irregular shape, chips retain the same nutritional profile as whole kernels: high oil content (42–48%), good protein levels, and clean flavour.
Whole kernel content is limited to a maximum of 5%, meaning the overwhelming majority of the product is genuine broken pieces — a requirement for customers formulating bird-feed, energy bars, or granola who need a specific chip character rather than crushed whole kernels.
Supplied in bulk 500 kg or 1 000 kg big-bags for feed and industrial customers, or in 25 kg paper bags for smaller food manufacturers. Non-GMO and Bulgarian origin documentation is standard with all shipments.
