AGRILABH SUNFLOWER MICROGREENS SEEDS

Sunflower microgreens are sweet and nutty. Sunflower microgreens are a nutritious and delicious addition to your diet. They can enhance any dish you add them to, from salads and sandwiches to smoothies and soups. In addition to being flavorful, they pack a hefty dose of vitamins A, C, E, K, B6, B9 (folate), minerals including iron, potassium, and magnesium.

1. Prepare the Seed Tray:

• Fill your seed trays with seed-starting mix, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
• Moisten the mix thoroughly, ensuring it’s evenly moist but not waterlogged.

2. Sow the Seeds:

• Scatter sunflower seeds evenly over the moistened seed-starting mix. You can sow them densely, as they don’t need much space.
• Press the seeds gently into the mix using a flat board or the palm of your hand to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

3. Cover the Seeds (Optional):

• You can cover the seeds with a clear plastic lid or plastic wrap to create a mini greenhouse effect. This can aid in germination. However, this step is optional.
• If you choose to cover the seeds, remove the cover once the seedlings start to emerge.

4. Provide Light and Water:

• Place the seed trays in a location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights. Sunflower microgreens do not require direct sunlight at this stage.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to water gently. Water once or twice a day, as needed.

5. Watch for Growth:

• Sunflower microgreens will start to sprout in about 2-3 days.
• Once they reach a height of about 2-3 inches and have a set of true leaves (usually within 7-14 days), they are ready for harvesting.

6. Harvesting:

• Harvest sunflower microgreens by cutting them just above the soil level using clean scissors or shears.
• Harvest when they are young and vibrant green. Typically, this is around 7-14 days after sowing.

7. Enjoy Your Sunflower Microgreens:

• Sunflower microgreens have a mild, nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to salads, sandwiches, wraps, or as a garnish for various dishes.
