1. A method of hulling-separating sun flower seeds comprising feeding the seeds into a huller (1) which produces a mixture of particles made of full or broken kernels, partially hulled or non-hulled seeds, broken hulls and kernel fines, and using a fluidized bed (11) to remove the broken hulls from the mixture of particles, characterized in that it comprises dividing the mixture of particles into two fractions of different grain size, before feeding thereof onto the fluidized bed (11), removing the kernel fines from the larger grain size fraction at the fluidized bed (11), before removing the broken hulls, feeding the kernel fines back into the larger grain size fraction issuing hull free from the fluidized bed (11), and further feeding the smaller grain size fraction into the larger grain size fraction from the fluidized bed.
