In the 1970s, SunOpta transformed the sunflower industry by introducing the SL 80 extended shelf-life high oleic sunflower kernel. SunOpta's SL 80 kernel is the most functional, healthy, and economical sunflower ingredient for food manufacturers and consumers. Compared to traditional sunflower, the SL 80 kernel has a relatively large percentage of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (oleic fatty acids). The higher ratio of oleic acid effectively protects the integrity of roasted kernels by actively resisting oxidative degradation. The result is a premium sunflower product that surpasses other nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts, in product stability, versatility, and value.
