{"product_id":"black-oil-sunflower-shoots","title":"Black Oil Sunflower Shoots","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Oil Sunflower Shoots bring juicy crisp stems, tender green leaves, mild sweetness, and a distinctive fresh, nutty flavor. Freshly harvested Black Oil Sunflower Shoots combine thick, succulent stems with broad tender cotyledons for considerably more bite and body than delicate microgreens. Their flavor begins fresh and green, followed by mild sweetness and a distinctive nutty character reminiscent of sunflower seeds without the richness of the mature seed. The stems deliver a juicy crunch while the leaves remain soft and tender. Served raw, they add substantial texture to salads and bowls. Very brief heat softens the stems slightly and deepens their savory character, but prolonged cooking sacrifices the crispness and freshness that make sunflower shoots distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCATEGORY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Edible Flowers and Hearty Shoots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Oil Sunflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOTANICAL NAME:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helianthus annuus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 oz of freshly harvested Black Oil Sunflower Shoots, cut above the growing medium and packaged unwashed for freshness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSTORAGE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep refrigerated at approximately 36–40°F in the original sealed tray, keeping the shoots dry, cool, and protected from excess condensation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBEST ENJOYED WITHIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Within 5–7 days of delivery for peak juicy crunch, tender leaves, nutty aroma, fresh green flavor, and overall quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LivFarms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50565819007055,"sku":"LF-EH-SUN-BO-4OZ","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/2132\/7439\/files\/Black_Oil_Sunflower_Shoots.svg?v=1791918607","url":"https:\/\/livfarmersmarket.com\/products\/black-oil-sunflower-shoots","provider":"LivFarms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
