Here are some additional details about sunflower microgreens:

• Varieties: There are several types of sunflowers that are suitable for use as microgreens. The most common ones are Black Oil Sunflower and Giant Sunflower.
• Seed quantity per container: Use about 1 tablespoon of seeds for a flat container (10 x 20 cm) or 2 tablespoons for a larger container.
• Growing: The seeds should be spread in a layer over moist soil and lightly covered with soil. The seeds should then be soaked for about 2 days before germination. The containers should be kept in a place with indirect light until the seedlings are about 5 cm tall, then they can be placed in direct sunlight for an additional 2-3 days.
• Care: The soil should be kept moist but not too wet to avoid mold growth. Water the microgreens regularly and use a spray mist if necessary to keep the leaves moist. Air circulation is important to promote good germination and healthy growth.
• Harvest: The microgreens can be harvested when they are about 5-10 cm long. Cut the plants about 1 cm above the soil. Use the microgreens immediately or store them in the refrigerator.
• Use: Sunflower microgreens are great as an ingredient in salads, sandwiches, wraps, or as a garnish for soups and stews. They can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack on their own or with dips and sauces.
