SunflowerFamily USA specializes in the creation of protein-packed foods with a base of sunflower and its newest product is a high-protein plant-based cereal—Organic Sunflower Protein Crisps. The high-protein breakfast product boasts up to 14 grams of plant-based protein from organic sunflower seeds per serving, plus dietary fiber, folate and naturally occurring minerals. The cereal is made with just six simple ingredients and as such, boasts a free-from formula that avoids soy, grains, dairy, gluten and major allergens.
The high-protein cereal is produced in flavors like Cacao and Vanilla and was created in response to consumer demand. As SunflowerFamily USA owner Gary Bartl says, "Our customers were asking for an organic, plant-based cereal that was high in protein and free from dairy, gluten, and soy, but it didn't exist. So, we decided to make one."
