Sunflower Seeds

Ballıpınar Agriculture – Sunflower Seeds and Sunflower Oil Production

Sunflower seeds are the fruits of the sunflower plant, known for its bright yellow flowers. Belonging to the daisy family, the sunflower is one of the most important oil crops in the world, cultivated both for its seeds and its oil.

In Turkey, the Marmara Region and Thrace are the primary centers of sunflower production, contributing significantly to the national economy with high-yield farming areas.

At Ballıpınar Agriculture, we use sustainable farming methods and modern production techniques to supply both domestic and international markets with high-quality sunflower seeds and sunflower oil.

Nutritional Value and Health Benefits of Sunflowers

Sunflowers are highly beneficial to human health, not only for their high oil content but also for their rich nutritional profile:

  • Rich in linoleic acid (supports heart and vascular health)
