Sprouting Black Oil Sunflowers

Did you know that sunflower microgreens contain 20%-25% protein?  I had no idea!  Now I just have to find out how tasty these will be on our salads, so we have yet another experiment going on in Humbleville.

Seen below is what black oil sunflower seeds look like on day three of the sprouting process.  In the next day or two, I will be laying these out on a 10″ x 20″ tray on two inches of fertile soil.  In perhaps a week, we shall see how many pounds of these highly nutritious sunflower microgreens we can grow in a single tray.   I can’t wait to eat these!
