Sunflower Protein (Upcycled)

Scout's take

Plant-based protein concentrate cold-pressed from upcycled sunflower seed meal — a byproduct of sunflower oil pressing. Less bioavailable than whey or other animal-source proteins (PDCAAS ~0.65–0.70 vs 1.0 for whey, casein, and egg), so fewer of its amino acids are usable gram-for-gram. Naturally low in lysine, the same limiting amino acid that drags down most seed and grain proteins, meaning it is not a complete protein on its own. Mechanical cold-pressing is a step up from hexane-extracted isolates like soy, but this is still a processed extract — not a whole-food protein source.
