Sunflower Sprouting Seeds

GEO Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds produce sprouts that are perfect in salads or for use in your juicer. Sunflower sprouts contain high protein content (30%), vitamins A and B, and the rare-in-sprouts vitamin D. They are rich in minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Remember that the seeds are quite thirsty during sprouting and must be kept moist.

How to Sprout?

1. Soaking:

Rinse the seeds thoroughly under running water. Use approximately 1 tablespoon of sprouting seeds. Place the seeds in a jar/bowl and cover them with cold water. Soak for 4-6 hours.

2. Rinsing:

Rinse with cold water. The more thoroughly you rinse, the better the conditions for the seeds to sprout. After rinsing, let all water drain off. It is important to rinse twice a day.

3. Placement of the sprouting jar:

Place the sprouting jar in a warm (18-22 degrees), bright location but not in direct sunlight. Prevent the accumulation of excessive water and moisture.

4. What to look for:

After a couple of days, you will see small shoots forming - this is the beginning of sprouting. You may notice small white fibers on the shoots. This is completely normal but can at first glance be easily mistaken for mold.

Mold has a musty smell and looks like gray fur, not the same thing.

5. Harvest:

The sprouts are ready to harvest after approximately 6-8 days. After one sprouting cycle, wash everything and let it air dry. We recommend rinsing the sprouts before eating them.

Storage: If the sprouts are not to be eaten immediately, they can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and should be rinsed before each time you want to eat them.

Seed storage: dry, cool and dark.

Using sprouts: Sprinkle over salads, in soup, in wraps, on sandwiches or in any kind of food.
