For the second consecutive year, sunflower products make Whole Foods Market global buyers and experts top ten anticipated food trends list. Sunflower oil was on the list for 2021.
Information in a weekly newsletter from the National Sunflower Association says for 2022 sunflower seeds are included in the list which are expected to rise in popularity in the next year. Whole Foods Market mentions that ‘sunflower seeds are branching out of the ballpark and sliding into crackers, ice creams and creamy cheeses. Delivering protein and unsaturated fats, these mighty little seeds are transforming the 21st century snack game. Parents, take note — many sunflower seed–based products are made without nuts, which means allergy-friendly school snacks.’ Whole Foods Market plans to offer a Sunbutter + Jelly sandwich in 2022.
