Totally free of fertilizers and pesticides of course! Thanks! ~Nan

That was a tough one to find! Finally found this on Melissa Kaplan's site: Helianthus annuus (WILD ARTICHOKE, WILD SUNFLOWER); plant may contain toxic levels of nitrates.

I looked on MK's site, couldn't find it - nor at Ig Den - I just had no luck at all! Thanks again! I won't be giving it to my babies after all ~Nan

If you work with the leaves long enough the hairs embed in your skin, not what you would want in your mouth. Mark
