Storage Tips
Airtight container 3 months at room temp, 1 year refrigerated or frozen.
Baking Science
About 50% fat, mostly polyunsaturated. Reacts with baking soda in baked goods — chlorogenic acid in the seed turns blue-green at high pH. Add an acid (lemon, vinegar) to suppress the colour change.
Recipe Context
For nut flours: weigh to avoid dry or greasy texture swings.
For seed gels: hydration ratio directly affects binding strength.
For toppings: weight gives consistent coverage and bake color.
Common Pitfalls
- Switching brands without re-checking weight can change texture and bake time.
- Using volume-only measurements for dense ingredients can overshoot recipe targets.
Brand Variance & Measuring Method
Baseline reference: 1 cup sunflower seeds (hulled) = 144g. In real kitchens, a practical range is usually 131g-157g per cup (9% band).
Why this happens: cut size, grind consistency, and oil content alter packing behavior.
