Black oil sunflower seed.
Sourced generally from Europe and the UK this is high oil black
sunflower, which has also been selected and correctly harvested to
produce the maximum oil content. Black oil sunflower must not be
harvested late - this produces a high acid content - and must be
fully matured - or you just get empty husks. Our black oil sunflower
seeds are also screened and graded and then a little vegetable oil
is added to give them extra shine so the birds can spot them more
easily [it's true!] plus they are absorbing nutrients even as they
remove the husks to get at the seeds themselves. All critical for the
long term health of our birds.
