CERTIFIED ORGANIC BLACK OIL SUNFLOWERS... grown on Treasured Haven Farm Rush City, Minnesota Certified Organic by MCIA All Treasured Haven Farm's sunflower seeds are harvested with care from plants grown in harmoniously with nature and admired for their natural stately beauty while alive with the hum of nature's pollinators. Seeds are harvested with our own restored antique equipment that ONLY handles our own clean crops that are totally non-GMO, chemically free, and grown on soil that is organically certifiable. They are then cleaned with an heirloom fanning mill to remove any remaining chaff and head or stem parts, and packaged in clean natural food grade packaging void of contaminants. Treasured Haven Farm is totally committed to growing the best natural crops and allow NO GMO seeds on our 452 acres, whether in our field crops or any of our vegetables. BLACK OIL SUNFLOWER SEEDS are perfect for your wild birds as it is the best seed to attract the widest variety to your feeders with a nutritious and energetic food source for the cold days of winter. The black oil seeds have very thin shells that make it easy for virtually all seed loving birds of all sizes to crack open. The kernels within have a high fat content, which is extremely valuable for birds in winter. BOSS (Black Oil Sunflower Seeds) can be used to grow microgreen shoots - aka Sunnys. While we do not sell our seeds for this purpose, many choice to use them as such. Grow: Use a shallow flat, tray or clamshell packaging, and fill at least once inch with clean soil. Sprinkle the seed thickly on top of the soil. Lightly cover with soil without clumps. Water and keep moist to aid in germination, but make sure to not let the soil become too soggy as mold could develop. Some choose to soak, and rinse seeds a couple times, for 8-12 hours prior to planting to jumpstart germination and use less soil. Cut: Let the plants grow to 3 inches or more tall and then carefully cut above the soil level with a scissors or pinch off with your fingers prior to the true leaves developing. Rinse prior to use under fresh water. Eat: Use in salads, for a snack, or for juicing. This seed is not sold, intended, or certified for sprouting or field planting. SUNFLOWER SEED HEADS are a great natural treat to place out for the birds and once the seeds are gone it is easily used to place peanut butter to continue using this natural feeder. This are naturally stem dried and are in a range of sizes. It can be simply laid out on your deck rail or table, or hung from a tree branch if you have squirrels who may run off with the treat .Seed Heads work well for pets to nibble, or various Craft Projects. Birds that are attracted to sunflower heads include jays, grosbeaks, goldfinches, juncos, buntings, titmice, bluebirds, blackbirds, finches, cardinals, chickadees, and others. They all benefit from the high nutritional value sunflower seeds provide as the seeds are loaded with minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron as well as vitamins. Sunflower seeds are also valuable as a source for protein, fiber and polyunsaturated fat. |
