You might want to sprout black oil sunflower seeds if you are interested in organic gardening. Although this is not difficult as you might think it to be, you should take some precautions. First, you need to make sure you use the proper potting medium. You'll need at least 2 cups of potting soil with drainage holes to prevent the seeds from sinking into the soil. Next, cover the seed with shredded wood or clay.
There are many benefits to sprouting oil sunflower seeds. They are great for replacing lettuce because of their high nutritional content and antioxidants. These nutritious microgreens can be used in salads and stirred into your favorite dishes. Apart from being a good source of protein, they also contain healthy fats, an amino acid profile, and live enzymes. Black oil sunflower is rich in protein and high in omega fatty acid. It helps to build the skeletal, muscle, and neurological systems.

Great quality seed at a reasonable price

I am a commercial micro-greens grower and have purchased many thousands of dollars of seed from Todd's Seeds. The overall quality of their products are outstanding. I have had only one problem when I received some pea seed that had been frozen. Todd's took care of the problem at their expense in a couple of days. I could not have been happier. I would recommend Todd's Seeds to anyone interested in growing micro-greens.
