Sunflowers
MediumSunflower microgreens are the tender, young sprouts of the sunflower plant, characterized by a mildly nutty, slightly sweet flavor and a range of essential nutrients, making them a delicious and healthful addition to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
Harvest9-12 days
Microgreens are harvested by cutting them just above the soil level. Sunflowers takes typically 9-12 days to grow.
Sowing density
For optimal growth and yield, Sunflowers should be sown using 125 grams, depending on the variety and desired harvest size.
Germination24-36 hours
Germination is the process by which a seed sprouts and begins to grow, it typically takes Sunflowers 24-36 hours before the seeds begin to produce sprouts.
Blackout2-3 days
Blackout is a technique used in microgreen growing where the plants are covered in darkness for a certain period to promote stem elongation and enhance flavor.
Stack2-3 days
Stacking is a technique where multiple trays of plants are stacked on top of each other during the growing process to save space and encourage stem elongation.
Soak6-12 hours
Soaking seeds is a technique where seeds are soaked in water for a certain period before planting to enhance germination rates, shorten the germination time, and improve the overall quality of the microgreens.
Mold Prone
Microgreens are prone to mold growth due to their high moisture content, and proper ventilation, drainage, and watering are essential to prevent mold growth during the growing process.
