Sunflower greens are amazingly tasty, tender and beautiful too. They are grown from black oil sunflower seeds and take about 12 days from seed to green. They are a storehouse of nutrition including vitamins A, B, C, and E. an incredible amount of potassium, and are high in calcium, magnesium and iron. They are full of amino acids - almost 25% protein!
Because they are germinated, the plants stored energy is activated, giving you more minerals and vitamins with fewer calories than a dry seed.
These greens are delicious on their own, on a sandwich and in salad. Kids love them!
