Sunflowers

Sunflower microgreens are young, edible seedlings of the sunflower plant, scientifically known as Helianthus annuus. These vibrant greens are typically harvested within 7 to 14 days after germination, when they reach a height of about 2 to 4 inches. Renowned for their delicate, nutty flavour and crisp texture, sunflower microgreens are not only a culinary delight but also a nutritional powerhouse. They are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, as well as essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Additionally, sunflower microgreens are packed with antioxidants and beneficial phytochemicals, making them an excellent choice for enhancing overall health. Their versatility allows them to be used in a variety of dishes, from salads and sandwiches to smoothies and garnishes, adding both visual appeal and a burst of flavour.
