Dehulled Sunflower Seed Cake from Japan
Dehulled sunflower seed cake comes from hull-removed kernels after oil extraction, offering higher protein (up to 42%) and lower fiber for monogastric animals. The dehulling doesn't change its status as extraction residue. HTS 2306.30.00.00 covers this as sunflower-specific oilcake.
