The seeds can be made to grow in order to have a healthy source of nutrition.The temperature, water volume, and time are some of the factors that affect proper sprouting.The process can be used to grow greens or seeds.To accommodate for changes in weather and humidity, you should modify your sprouting process.
Step 1: You can buy or gather raw, unsalted, hulled seeds.
The seeds without shells will grow more quickly.If you only gather unhulled seeds, you should collect them in a bowl and allow them to soak overnight.Put the seeds in a strainer in the morning.As you go, try to pick out the hull.If some of the hull remain, don't worry.
Step 2: The seeds should be in a jar.
Place the seeds in a jar that is large enough to hold them.
Step 3: Put water in it.
The seeds will float on top if the jar is filled with water.
Step 4: Allow the jar to sit for a while.
The seeds should start to grow.The sprout has begun to emerge if the seeds have doubled in size.You should always check the seeds periodically to make sure they don't soak for too long.
Step 5: Return them to the jar.
It's important to cover the jar again.
Step 6: Wait a second.
For one to three days, place them in a warm place with no direct sunlight, and let them sit in the jar.Return them to the jar once or twice a day until they are done.A special bag can be used instead of the original jar.Hang the sprouted seeds over the sink or other area to allow them to drain.Continue to rinse for at least five hours.
Step 7: Enjoy!
They are ready to eat when they look like little V's.Store the rest of the sprout in your fridge to enjoy later.
Step 8: You need to get your supplies.
You will need black oil sunflower seeds, glass pie dishes, and some healthy soil from your local garden store.
Step 9: Make your area sprout.
Take a glass pie dish and fill it with soil.
Step 10: Put your seeds in a container.
Take a quarter of a cup of seeds and submerge them in a bowl of water for 8 hours.
Step 11: The seeds should be added to the soil.
Water the seeds thoroughly and spread them across the soil.
Step 12: The pie dish should be placed on top of the soil.
The second pie plate should be placed on top of the soil as if it were a nest.The excess water should be drained by pressing down.
Step 13: Wait a second.
In a warm, dark place, store your sprouted seed with the second pie dish still on top.You should check on them every day for about three days.When the upper plate is lifted, remove it from the dark place.
Step 14: They should be placed in the sun.
Remove the upper plate and place the sprout in a sunny spot.
Step 15: When they are ready to eat, eat them.
When they're ready to be eaten, cut the sprout and rinse them to get rid of the shells.It takes about two days for them to be ready to eat after being in the sun.Shorter if it's warm in your area.They can be tried in salads, sushi, soup, or sandwiches.Enjoy.
Step 16: It's a good idea to consider growing greens.
Both methods will work for germinating sunflowers, but you can also use the traditional method.Sunflowers are a favorite snack for birds because they are difficult to grow straight in their final location.It is possible to improve your chances of keeping them alive by sowing them before planting.
Step 17: Put some paper towels in a container.
A bit of plant food and some paper towels are mixed in the water.The towels are difficult to handle and should be wet.
Step 18: Put the seeds in the towel.
Place a couple of seeds in the towel with space between them and fold the paper towel to cover them.
Step 19: There is a paper towel in the bag.
Place the paper towel in a plastic bag after giving it a few more drops of water.It should be sealed most of the way with a small gap at the center.
Step 20: Set in the sun.
Give the seeds time to grow by setting the bag in the sun.
Step 21: When they're ready to plant.
When they have sprouted, make sure to place them in soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.Full sunlight is important for the growth of sunflowers.They can be planted along a fence or behind trees to protect them from the wind.It is important to remember that sunflowers planted in pots will not grow as big as those in the ground.You should make sure they get plenty of water while they establish their roots.They can survive in wet, humid weather, but you need to make sure they are planted in a well-draining soil.
