Posted on September 1, 2021

Have you noticed how popular microgreens are becoming among professional chefs? If you haven’t, they are rapidly becoming a must have kitchen staple. You may not have realized just how tasty and beneficial sunflower seeds are, but I guarantee you that once you taste them you will. In this article, we will take a closer look at why eating microgreens for chefs is a great idea and what exactly makes them so great.

The health benefits of eating black oil sunflower seeds is that they are filled with healthy fatty omega fatty acids. It is these fats in the seeds that give them their health benefits. Not only do they help protect against heart disease, but they can also help decrease cholesterol in your blood stream. They also contain fiber and protein, which help you feel full much faster. Here are some of the other great benefits that eating microgreens for chefs has to offer:

Easy To Maintain: The good news is that as you can see from the health benefits above, there are no special nutrients required for growing microgreens. They are also easy to care for. Just add them to your salads and enjoy! Unlike other salad seeds, like romaine lettuce and spinach, they don’t need a lot of water to stay alive and vibrant. This means that you can enjoy fresh salads all the time without the worry about waterlogging them.

Great With Creamy Dressings: The key to enjoying fresh salads all the time is to enjoy them on their own without any dressing. That is why it is so fun to grow your own microgreens. Since they are grown hydroponically inside a glass box, you can enjoy salads with creamy dressings all the time. If you love ranch dressings on your tuna casserole, try micro greens with a creamy dressing for a twist on the traditional favorite. You can also substitute spinach or kale in place of cream cheese in your pasta recipes to bring out the flavor of the greens even more.

Low Maintenance: Unlike other green growing seeds, microgreens are easy to maintain. When harvesting them, you just pull the seeds from the plant. Since they are just small seeds, you won’t have to worry about cutting the leaves off or even trimming the branches because the blades of the bladed plant will simply cut them off. As long as you store them in an airtight container when not in use, you can enjoy a big harvest every year.

Low Cost: When compared to other vegetables, most sunflower seeds and microgreens are actually quite cheap. There are actually some varieties that are even cheaper than mustard seed oil! In fact, black oil sunflower seeds are the lowest priced vegetable seeds available in the market today. When purchasing, make sure that you get the full packet or tub because you might not be able to save the seeds for future planting.

Health Benefits: Aside from its low cost, there are also many health benefits associated with microgreens. They are very good source of protein, vitamins and minerals such as folic acid, manganese, iron and calcium. These nutrients are all important in your body because without them, you won’t be able to have the energy to perform your daily tasks. When these nutrients are included in your salads, you can ensure that you’ll be able to provide your body with healthy meals all the time.

Whether you choose lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, red onion, cucumber, bell pepper or any other variety, microgreens are a great addition to your meals. Their low cost makes them affordable to most people. Aside from this, the nutritional content and flavors they offer are also worth the price. Microgreens can be added to your favorite salads, made into wraps or even combined with rice or pasta. You can create mouth watering dishes right away with the delicious taste of these tiny vegetables.
