emerging type of specialty vegetable that people can buy from shops and grow at home from the seeds of vegetables, herbs, or grains. Sunflower microgreens are most often grown from black oil sunflower seeds. The microgreens are harvested when the green leaves have just started to sprout, before they are 1-2 weeks old. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunflower shoots are sunflower seedlings that take between 7 to 12 days to grow. They are harvested before or right after the first true leaves form. Sunflower microgreens can be eaten like sprouts in salads, sandwiches, and wraps. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we&#8217;ll look at the sunflower microgreens nutrition chart, as well as their health benefits and possible side effects.

The seeds should be placed about one inch apart so they grow into full-sized plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Water_The_Seeds\"><\/span><strong>Water The Seeds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprinkle water over the top to soak the soil. Be careful not to over-water, as the soil should be moist, not drenched. If you find that you tend to water too much, consider growing microgreens in a tray on a windowsill so they can dry out between waterings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Provide_Sunlight\"><\/span><strong>Provide Sunlight<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give the sunflower seeds plenty of sunlight. Put them under a grow light or on a windowsill that gets at least six hours of sun every day. Sunlight is necessary for the plants to photosynthesize and produce their own food through a process called chlorophyll synthesis. If they do not get enough sunlight, they will die.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the plants are about four inches tall, you can harvest them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harvest_Sunflower_Microgreens\"><\/span><strong>Harvest Sunflower Microgreens<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunflower microgreens can be harvested once they have developed their first set of true leaves (the leaves that sprout directly out of the soil). The shoot should be at least 1&#8243; tall. They are best eaten fresh, but if you need to store them, you can cut the shoots off at the base and place them in a glass of water.

Since they are a little bitter, you may want to mix them with other chips or milder snacks like popcorn. Cut off the top inch or two of microgreens, including the stems. Rinse them thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels, then arrange them on a plate and eat!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soups_And_Stews\"><\/span><strong>Soups And Stews<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add sunflower microgreens to soups and stews when you are about 15 minutes from serving them.

Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels, then chop them coarsely. Add them to your dressing so the flavor enhances the other ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smoothies\"><\/span><strong>Smoothies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microgreens pack a lot of flavor and nutrition-boosting power, so they can enhance your favorite smoothie recipe. Add chopped microgreens to your favorite smoothie recipe just before you blend it. Be sure to rinse them thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels, then chop them coarsely. Add them to your smoothie so they have enough time to blend into the other ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Bottom_Line\"><\/span><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunflower microgreens are a nutritious and delicious addition to your diet.
