🌻 Introducing Sunflower Protein SK-50: A Sustainable Plant Protein Solution

At Laketown Mills, we’re always striving to deliver clean, functional, and sustainable ingredients to the food and feed industries. Our Sunflower Protein SK-50 is a standout product in that effort—a 50% plant-based  protein ingredient that offers both nutrition and versatility.

What is SK-50?

SK-50 is a mechanically processed sunflower protein made from carefully selected, de-hulled sunflower kernels. Through cold pressing and milling, we produce a natural protein-rich flour that is free from chemical solvents. The result is a light-colored, clean-label ingredient with excellent functionality in a variety of applications.
