Sunflower Sprouting Seeds have a mild taste adding a different texture to a mixed salad. Sunflower seeds are also a great addition to sandwiches or stir-fries. Alternatively blanch in boiling water and add to stews casseroles and soups.

An airing cupboard is ideal if white sprouts are required or in the kitchen out of direct sunlight for green sprouts. This will give two slightly different tastes and textures.

Fast growing sunflower seed can be sown all year round. Sprouting Seeds are easy to grow in a jam jar making them ideal for children or alternatively grow in a sprouting kit.

Type: Vegetable
Cropping: 2-3 days
Ideal for: Children
