Care information

Proper storage and handling can help maintain seed quality and germination performance. Keep seeds sealed, dry and protected from heat, moisture and direct sunlight.

Storage: For best long-term storage, keep seeds refrigerated in a clean, airtight container or securely sealed packaging. A refrigerator at approximately 4°C provides a cool, stable environment that can help maintain seed viability. If refrigeration is not practical, store seeds in the coolest available dry, dark and temperature-stable location.

Moisture: Keep seeds dry at all times during storage. Excess moisture or humidity can reduce seed quality and encourage premature germination, mould or deterioration. Always reseal opened packaging promptly.

Removing Seeds from Refrigeration: Keep refrigerated seeds sealed while they return to room temperature before opening the package or container. This helps prevent condensation from forming on cold seeds and introducing unwanted moisture.

Temperature: Avoid repeated temperature changes and do not store seeds near ovens, heaters, windows, vehicles, sheds or other areas exposed to excessive or fluctuating heat.

Handling: Use clean, dry utensils when removing seed from larger packs and return the remaining seed to refrigerated storage promptly after use.

Before Sowing or Sprouting: Inspect seeds before use and discard any showing signs of moisture damage, mould, unusual odour or deterioration. When growing edible sprouts or microgreens, use clean equipment and drinking-quality water.

Best Quality: Use seed while fresh and follow any product-specific storage, germination and growing information provided in the Specifications, growing instructions or product packaging.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your order size and weight, delivery address and available carrier services. We use Australia Post and other carriers to provide suitable delivery options and rates.

Dispatch

Orders are generally packed and dispatched within 0–2 business days (Monday–Friday), excluding public holidays and unusually busy periods.

Delivery Times

Delivery times begin from the date your order is dispatched. As a general guide, Australia Post Parcel Post usually takes 2–6 business days, while Express Post generally takes 1–3 business days where available.

Regional and remote destinations may take longer. Orders containing seed sent to Western Australia, Tasmania or other biosecurity-controlled destinations may also require additional processing or inspection.

Delivery estimates are provided as a guide only and can be affected by carrier delays, weather, peak periods and biosecurity requirements.

Tracking

All shipped orders include tracking. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email with your tracking information so you can follow its progress.

Authority to Leave

Depending on the carrier and delivery service, your parcel may be left in a safe location if no one is available to receive it. You can provide delivery instructions during checkout where supported by the carrier; however, specific delivery requests cannot always be guaranteed.

Local Pickup – Riverstone, NSW

Local pickup can be selected at checkout when available. Please allow approximately 2–3 business days for your order to be prepared.

Wait until we contact you to confirm that your order is ready and arrange a suitable collection time.

Please do not attend the warehouse without an appointment. All pickups are strictly by prior arrangement.

Seed Biosecurity – WA & Tasmania

Seeds and other plant material may be subject to state biosecurity restrictions.

Western Australia has specific entry requirements for seed, and seed consignments may be inspected by Quarantine WA. Tasmania also regulates the importation of viable seed, with additional requirements applying to certain species and consignments.

Requirements vary by seed species, quantity and destination and may change over time. Customers in Western Australia, Tasmania and other biosecurity-controlled areas should check current state requirements before ordering.

Where an order contains seed that cannot meet applicable biosecurity requirements, we may need to contact you before dispatch or remove affected products from the order.

Description

Fresh Sunflower Microgreens – Grown to Order

Our fresh sunflower microgreens are available on a grow-to-order basis. Rather than keeping pre-packed microgreens in regular stock, we grow fresh crops specifically for confirmed orders and harvest them at the young microgreen stage.

Sunflower microgreens produce thick, crisp stems and broad green leaves with a fresh, mildly sweet and nutty sunflower flavour. Their substantial texture makes them one of the more robust microgreens and a useful addition to salads, sandwiches, wraps and bowls.

How to Order Fresh Sunflower Microgreens

Fresh sunflower microgreens need to be ordered in advance and are not maintained as a ready-to-ship stock item.

To place an order, email admin@ozsprout.com.au with the quantity you require. We will confirm your order requirements, availability and expected timing before your crop is grown.

If you require microgreens for a café, restaurant, catering business, event or regular supply arrangement, include your preferred quantity and required date when contacting us.

Crisp Texture with a Mild Nutty Flavour

Sunflower microgreens are known for their thick, succulent stems, broad green cotyledon leaves and distinctive crunchy texture. Their flavour is mild, fresh and slightly sweet with a subtle nuttiness characteristic of sunflower seed.

Use them fresh in salads, sandwiches, wraps and grain bowls, or add them to savoury dishes immediately before serving. Their firmer texture also makes them suitable for combining with softer leafy greens and other microgreens.

Young Sunflower Greens Harvested Fresh

Sunflower microgreens are grown from sunflower seed in trays and harvested above the growing medium once the cotyledon leaves have opened and the crop has developed strong green foliage.

Under suitable growing conditions, sunflower microgreens are generally ready in approximately 8–12 days. The roots, seed remnants and growing medium are left behind, with the crisp stems and young leaves forming the finished product.

Storage & Preparation

Fresh sunflower microgreens are highly perishable and should remain refrigerated at 0–5°C. Keep them protected from contamination and excess moisture.

Wash thoroughly under cool running water immediately before use, drain well and serve promptly. For the best flavour, texture and appearance, use while the stems remain crisp and the leaves are fresh and vibrant green.

Prefer to Grow Your Own Sunflower Microgreens?

If you would rather grow sunflower microgreens yourself, OzSprout stocks the seed and growing supplies needed to produce fresh trays at home.

Start with our Black Sunflower Microgreen Seeds, grow them in a Microgreen & Wheatgrass Grow Tray and use Coco Fibre Growing Medium or another suitable supportive growing medium.

Sunflower is a larger-seeded microgreen that benefits from an approximately 8-hour pre-soak and light-to-moderate pressure during early germination. This helps the roots establish firmly and produces a dense tray of substantial shoots.

For complete instructions covering soaking, seeding rate, weighted germination, seed-hull management, watering, lighting and harvesting, see our How to Grow Sunflower Microgreens at Home guide.

Growing your own is a practical option for maintaining a regular supply, while our fresh grow-to-order sunflower microgreens are available when you would prefer the crop to be grown and harvested for you.
