{"product_id":"semences-tournesol-noir-biologiques-micropousses","title":"Black Sunflower — Microgreen Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eProbably the most substantial of microgreens — robust shoots 10-15 cm tall, with a thick juicy stem topped by two large fleshy tender-green cotyledons, sometimes still wrapped in the black seed hull they have just emerged from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the microgreen stage, you grow exactly the same seeds offered to winter birds, but indoors on potting soil for culinary use. Surprisingly close in flavour to fresh walnut: mild, buttery, nutty, with a tender herbaceous finish. Juicy crunchy texture that nearly plays as the main element of a dish (not just a garnish).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thousand uses: a more interesting substitute for arugula or lettuce in sandwiches, on bagels, in wraps, as the main green in a full salad, wok-stirred for 30 seconds like a green vegetable, in sushi maki in place of cucumber, or simply eaten by the handful as a raw snack. One of the most filling and nourishing microgreens by volume, particularly rich in vitamin E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnical note: use only \u003cem\u003eblack-hulled\u003c\/em\u003e (unhulled) sunflower seeds for microgreen growing. Pre-soak 8-12 hours, then sow in a dense layer on the potting mix and cover with a second tray for the first 3-4 days to encourage uniform germination. At harvest, some shoots still wear their hull on the top: gently remove it before serving (technically edible, but texturally unwelcome).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoaking: 8-12 hours in warm water before sowing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination time: 2-4 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrogreen harvest: 10-14 days after sowing (10-15 cm tall).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYield: about 1 cup of hulled-on seeds produces a tray of microgreens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest uses: sandwiches, salads, wraps, raw snacks — as a main green rather than garnish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Joual Vert","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":38053825118380,"sku":"GC-O-SUN-100G","price":5.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":38053825151148,"sku":"GC-O-SUN-500G","price":18.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":38053825183916,"sku":"GC-O-SUN-1KG","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/1388\/8684\/products\/sunflower.jpg?v=1698701229","url":"https:\/\/joualvert.ca\/en\/products\/black-sunflower-microgreen-seeds","provider":"Joual Vert","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
