Melon Seed

Melon Seed – Bulk Supply for Food, Oil & Nutraceutical Industries

Product Overview

Melon Seed (Cucumis melo), known as Kavun Çekirdeği, is a nutrient-dense seed valued for its oil yield, protein, and functional health properties. Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, and antioxidants, melon seeds are consumed both as snacks and ingredients in bakery and confectionery while also being processed into cold-pressed melon seed oil. The oil is highly sought after in cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and personal care formulations for its moisturizing and skin-regenerating effects.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium melon seeds sourced from carefully selected melon varieties and processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in whole, hulled, roasted, powdered, and oil-ready forms, our melon seeds serve the needs of food manufacturers, supplement producers, and cosmetic brands worldwide.
