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 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 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 or intended for field planting.
