Sunflower microgreens are a vibrant, nutrient-packed type of young sunflower plant that has become increasingly popular among health enthusiasts and chefs alike. They are grown from the seeds of the sunflower plant, typically harvested just after they’ve sprouted and developed their first set of true leaves. These greens are known not only for their fresh, nutty flavor and crunchy texture but also for their impressive nutritional profile. Rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, sunflower microgreens are also a fantastic source of calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, they provide essential amino acids and are a great plant-based source of protein.
In the culinary world, sunflower microgreens are celebrated for their versatility. They can be used as a garnish on dishes, tossed into salads for an added crunchy texture, or even blended into smoothies for a nutritional boost. Their robust flavor pairs well with a variety of ingredients, elevating the taste of numerous dishes.
You can find our sunflower microgreens at Zerbos Gourmet Markets in Livonia, Plum Markets, Westborn Markets, Papa Joes in Birmingham and Rochester and at the online farmers market, Market Wagon.
