These highly nutritious and oil-rich sunflower hearts for wild birds are now available in recyclable paper packaging.
The hearts come without the husks of complete sunflower seeds. With the husks removed the sunflower heart (kernel) are the perfect feed to place in seed feeders or specifically designed sunflower feeders to hang from a feeding station. The good news is that with the husks removed, the birds will eat the whole seed normally leaving minimal mess though at times you can’t always legislate for the odd messy eater!
As a natural product the size of the hearts can vary based on the weather through growing season. The poor harvest in 2024 caused by adverse weather and growing conditions means that the average heart size can be smaller and darker than for previous harvests with at times there may be a greater percentage of chips. Whilst having an aesthetic impact, it will not change the nutritional benefits of this highly nutritious feed. With the present world wide shortage there is a concern that current harvest supplies may become exhausted before the new August/Sept crop becomes available.

What Does 'Bakery Grade' Mean
Although these sunflower hearts are classified as 'bakery grade', they aren't suitable for human consumption. Bakery grade, in this instance, means our sunflower hearts have the highest possible oil content, which is produced by the black sunflower seed.
Storage
We would always recommend you store your bird food in an air tight container and in a cool dry place to ensure that it remains fresh up until the best before date.
This product was previously called 'Premium Sunflower Heart Kernels'. The only change is the name, they are identical and nothing about them has changed except for the name.
