sunflower seeds. It is the same plant, Helianthus annuus, and gives the same kind of crop: sturdy, pale stems with thick, light green seed leaves, a little smaller than on large-seeded sunflower, and a nutty crunch.\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 brings its seed leaves up into the light. The young stem pushes through the soil bent like a hook, then straightens and opens the two thick leaves that were folded inside the seed. Those seed leaves and the crisp stem below them are what you harvest. On the way up, each shoot also has to leave its hull behind.\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\"\u003eThat is where a weight on the cover helps. If you keep the tray pressed down for the first days, the roots grow into the soil instead of lifting the seeds. The stems come up straight and level, and the hulls loosen as the shoots push upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch5\u003eIN THE KITCHEN\u003c\/h5\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\"\u003eUse the shoots wherever you want crunch: on avocado toast, in wraps and rice-paper rolls, or over soup and noodles just before serving.

Water into the bottom tray and keep the air moving: it helps prevent mould. In the first days after uncovering, mist the tops lightly: the hulls get softer and are easier to knock off with a sweep of your hand. Some professional growers use a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution, for example to rinse seeds or mist the tray.
