The sunflower Microgreens are young leaves with a unique taste that the people looking for natural dietary supplements simply cannot omit. Edible sunflower micro leaves are considered to be one of the tastiest microgreens. They suit most people because of their crunchiness and flavour similar to that of a ripe sunflower seed with a slightly nutty touch. Large, fleshy seedlings are rich in fatty acids, pectin, protein and vitamin D. Microgreens constitute the essence of taste and nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The beautifully looking tiny sunflower leaves are an exceptional ingredient of salads, pastes, soups and casseroles. A handful of microgreens will decorate the majority of dishes and add incredible amounts of healthy substances to them.

Microgreens are often confused with sprouts, even though they differ from them substantially. They are vegetable seedlings that have already produced a pair of true leaves. They are cut and not eaten with seeds like the sprouts. Young plants contain way more nutrients than their ripe counterparts. They are exceptionally aromatic and ornamental. You can grow them all year long, irrespective of the season. They are harvested after they have grown several centimetres tall. These tiny, crisp, juicy leaves will provide you with unforgettable gustatory experience.

To grow microgreens, you need a flat container filled with soil and a sprinkler that will help you to keep the soil moist. The microgreens seeds presented here are very productive. You will be able to harvest rich yield even from a shallow container. Peat or other highly permeable substrate is recommended for growing these young plants. Seeds of the presented mix should be spread evenly on the soil surface and gently pressed into it. Place the culture in a well-lit place. The germination usually takes from 10 to 14 days. We recommend to cover the container with opaque plastic foil in order to speed up the emergence. Cut the edible parts over the surface after they have reached the desired size. Microgreens are harvested only once.
