SUNFLOWER SHOOTS

A masterclass in delightful nutty-ness

Some say that they’re an essential for superfood smoothies. Others call them the fairest of them all in the garden of microgreens. We couldn’t possibly say. But what we can shout about is the fact that sunflower shoots have a deeply distinguishing nutty flavour. And their distinctly crunchy texture makes them quite unlike any other microgreen you’ll get on your plate. So, what are you waiting for? Tuck in!

The Magic Bit

In this mad, free-radical-filled world, do your body a favour and boost your antioxidant capacity with sunflower sprouts.

Both sunflower seeds and their sprouts are packed to the rafters with vitamin E. Now for the science-y part: vitamin E works synergistically with vitamin C and selenium to reduce blood pressure, increase the elasticity of arteries and prevent heart disease. Impressive, right?
