Australian-grown Grey Striped sunflower seed produces thick stems, broad green cotyledons and a mild, sweet and nutty flavour that works particularly well in salads, sandwiches, wraps, grain bowls and fresh garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrey Striped sunflower is a larger-seeded type of \u003cem\u003eHelianthus annuus\u003c\/em\u003e. Compared with smaller Black Sunflower seed, the larger striped seeds generally produce \u003cstrong\u003etaller, substantial microgreens\u003c\/strong\u003e, although their thicker hulls can require a little more attention during soaking and as the cotyledons open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow Thick, Crunchy Sunflower Microgreens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrey Striped Sunflower is particularly well suited to tray growing. Soak the whole seeds before sowing, spread them densely over a supportive growing medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003eCoco Fibre Growing Medium\u003c\/a\u003e, then use a second tray with gentle pressure during early germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the seedlings are firmly rooted and beginning to lift the upper tray, move them into bright light and switch to bottom watering. Harvest when the broad cotyledons are fully open and green, before large true leaves develop and the shoots become tougher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrey Striped vs Black Sunflower Microgreens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Grey Striped and Black Sunflower seeds can produce excellent tray-grown microgreens, but they behave slightly differently. Grey Striped seed is larger and has a thicker hull, generally producing a more substantial seedling while requiring a little more attention during soaking and hull removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer the classic smaller-seeded sunflower type commonly used for dense microgreen production, see our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/sunflower-microgreen-seeds\"\u003eBlack Sunflower Microgreen Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBroad Green Cotyledons \u0026amp; Mild Nutty Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrey Striped Sunflower microgreens develop thick, crisp stems and broad green seed leaves with a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavour. Their substantial texture makes them useful as more than a garnish and particularly well suited to salads, sandwiches, wraps and bowls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe larger hulls can sometimes remain attached as seedlings emerge. Allow them to soften and loosen naturally, then gently remove any detached hulls without damaging the tender cotyledons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrow Mature Sunflowers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe same viable seed can also be planted outdoors and grown through to mature sunflower plants.
