Sadly, no. They don't grow in Minnesota, where I live now, either. MineralMan Jul 2015 #19

Sunflower and pea seeds. No seeds in guacamole! MineralMan Jul 2015 #36

Just wait until somebody gets the bright idea of adding kale to guacamole! MohRokTah Jul 2015 #29

Better than peas imo but cilantro should be the choice of greens in guac . No kale Person 2713 Jul 2015 #32

Blech! MineralMan Jul 2015 #34

If I had to extend the guac my choice would be chopped onions not a starch Person 2713 Jul 2015 #30

No sour cream, either. MineralMan Jul 2015 #37

I agree . Never seen peas but sour cream too many times Person 2713 Jul 2015 #46

I don't like sour cream on tacos, either. MineralMan Jul 2015 #48

Ugh! Sour Cream in Guacamole! I hate that too! smirkymonkey Jul 2015 #86
