Sunflower Shoots, the young, tender sprouts of the sunflower plant, present a delightful balance of nutty flavor and a crisp, succulent texture. These vibrant green shoots are graced with elongated leaves and a tender stem, making them a visually appealing and nutritious addition to salads, sandwiches, and wraps. With a subtle sweetness and a crunch akin to that of fresh garden peas, they elevate the taste and feel of any dish. Rich in protein, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals, Sunflower Shoots not only increase the nutritional value of meals but also bring a fresh, lively aesthetic to the plate. Their mild taste allows them to easily blend with other ingredients, providing a refreshing bite whether served raw or gently wilted as a delicate garnish.
Josh and Jess Plymale operate their 4 acre farm southwest of Atlanta with a no-till methodology. Though this strategy requires a large amount of extra physical labor, it pays off in very healthy soil that will yield a much greater return over the years. The husband and wife team also specializes in micro-green production, allowing them to maximize their production in a relatively small space.
