Sunflower Leaf Tea

Description

Sunflowers are beautiful, and many people enjoy the seeds. But most people are not aware that the leaves of the sunflower plant are full of nutrition. Ordinarily, the large mature leaves of the sunflower are somewhat tough and hairy, so they’re not the best candidate for use in salads, as can be the case for some other nutritious leaves. But if the leaves are dried and crushed, and used like loose tea leaves to make an infusion, you can get the benefit of the nutrients without having to deal with the unpleasant texture of the mature leaves. Sunflower leaf tea is naturally caffeine free, so you can enjoy a cozy, nutritious beverage any time of day. And since we freeze dry the leaves before crushing them, the nutrients are not destroyed by the heat that might otherwise be used to dry them.
