The small, thin-shelled black seeds sprout quickly and evenly and shed their hulls more easily than striped sunflower seeds, so you spend less time picking them off. The result is a tray of thick, crisp stems with broad seed leaves that taste sweet and nutty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eSunflower shoots are filling enough to eat by the handful, which makes them a favourite with children and the first microgreen many people grow to eat rather than to garnish.
