Sunflower microgreens are the young and tender sprouts of the sunflower plant. They are harvested when they are about 1-2 inches tall and are known for thier crunchy texture and nutty flavour. Sunflower microgreens have a mild and nutty flavour, similar to sunflower seeds. They add a pleasant crunch and a hint of sweetness to dishes.

Sunflower microgreens are highly nutritious. They are rich in vitamin A, B complex, C and E. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining healthy vision, supporting the immune system, and promoting proper growth and development. Vitamin B complex includes: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9. B vitamins are involved in energy metabolism, nerve function, DNA synthesis, and the production of red blood cells. They support brain health and help reduce the risk of certain birth defects. Vitamin C, which is also known for its antioxidant properties, supports the immune system, helps collagen production for healthy skin and aids in the absorbtion of iron from plant-based sources. 

Sunflower microgreens are also high in minerals like potassium, calcium, and iron. They are also a good source of protein and healthy fats. 

Like other microgreens, sunflower microgreens are packed with antioxidants. These compounds help protect the body from oxidative stress and have anti-flammatory properties. 

Sunflower microgreens have a tender and crunchy texture, making them a great addition to salands, sandwiches, and wraps. They can also be used as a topping for soups, stir-fries, and grain bowls. Sunflower microgreens can also be blended into smoothies, or mixed into dips and spreads. 

Including sunflower microgreens in your diet can help ensure an adequate intake of essential vitamins. They can be enjoyed in various dishes and provide a flavourful and nutritious addition to your meals.
