Growing Sunflower Sprout Seeds
Sunflower sprouts are easy and fast to grow. Soak the seeds for 8-12 hours to help soften the seed coat and signal the start of germination. We recommend a rate of about 4 Tablespoons of seed (0.25 cups) per cup of water. Proceed to rinse the seeds 2-3 times a day until they are ready to eat. Sunflower sprouts are generally ready to harvest in 2-3 days, just be sure to remove the seed coat before eating. You can easily sprout sunflowers using the tray, jar, or bag methods at home and on the go.
