Sunflower Hulls Trick & Gardening with Hot and Cold Temps
Sunflower Sprout Tips and Tricks:
Ever wonder what those little black things are in your bag of sunflower sprouts? Those are the seed hulls that came off the sunflower seed so the seed could become a plant. Sometimes the seed hull likes to stick to the first leases, the sprout, and you are then blessed with the TOTALLY certified organic, non- GMO, locally grown, tooth pick tasting sunflower seed hull.
So how do you get Sunflower seed hulls out of your sunflower sprouts? Oh, you already know the answer to this you smarty. The seed hull is like a toothpick, wood, IT FLOATS. So, place your sunflower sprouts into water, stir and watch the hulls come to the surface of the water, pick them off and voila, no more toothpick tasting sunflower hulls in your sunflower sprouts. See, you already knew this, didn’t you. Now you’re rollin’!!
Prepare for Hot and Cold Temps in the same day!
