How to Make Sunflower Seed Flour

Step 1

Place seeds in the blender jar. Starting on low, quickly increase to high speed and blend for just 5 or 6 seconds (this is how long it takes in a high-speed blender/Vitamix; adjust time as needed for other equipment). Be careful not to blend long or it will turn into sunflower seed butter!

Step 2

Stop to shake the jar. You'll also need to stir at the bottom, near the blades, to dislodge stuck flour. Check the overall consistency of the flour, and if needed, blend on high for a few more seconds (starting on low as before).

Step 3

Use the flour now in a recipe, or transfer to an airtight container for storage. Keep in the refrigerator or freezer to extend freshness.
