3.5 oz. Black Oil Sunflower Microgreens

Black Oil Sunflower microgreens are for people who want their greens to actually feel substantial. Since I started growing these, I've learned they're completely different from those delicate, wispy microgreens you might be used to. These have backbone – thick stems, meaty leaves, and a rich nutty flavor that comes from the Black Oil variety's naturally higher oil content.

Each 3.5 oz. container gives you microgreens that can handle real cooking. Toss them in stir-fries, layer them thick in sandwiches, or use them as the base for grain bowls. They don't wilt at the first sign of heat, and they add genuine substance to whatever you're making.

From a nutrition standpoint, you're looking at serious value here. These contain complete proteins, healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc. They're particularly high in vitamin E – one serving gives you a significant portion of your daily needs. The healthy fats make them especially satisfying, which is why people often tell me these actually curb their snacking.

I harvest them when they've developed that characteristic sunflower flavor but before they get tough. The timing is crucial – too early and you miss the full nutritional development, too late and they lose that tender bite. What you get is the perfect balance of nutrition, flavor, and texture that works whether you're cooking or eating them fresh.
