Frequently Asked Questions: Black Oil Sunflower Microgreens
Are the black sunflower hulls removed before delivery?▼
Yes. We use a proprietary misting and humidity dome cycle during germination in our Purley farm so over 98% of seed hulls shed naturally before harvest.
How should I store a living tray of Sunflower Microgreens?▼
Keep the tray on a bright kitchen windowsill or counter away from direct radiators, and add 50ml of cold water to the bottom tray every 2 days—never pour water over the leaves.
