Sunflower Chicken Pizza
Sunny Sunflower
Sunflower microgreens have a long stem with two large leafs and two tiny leafs called true leafs. They have striped seeds that need to be soaked before planting. Our sunflower microgreens spend five days in germination and one week under our grow lights. They can only be harvested for two to three days before the true leaves become too large and the microgreen becomes bitter. Sunflower microgreens last up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
