<div class="rte"> <h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><em>African Horned Cucumber seeds (Cucumis zambianus)</em></strong></span></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 3 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p>Cucumis zambianus (Cucurbitaceae), a New Species from Northwestern Zambia.</p> <p>Horned Cucumber, Jelly Melon, Kiwano  Annual vining vegetable native to NW Zambia where it is cultivated by indigenous farmers.  The young fruits are mottled green and are wholly edible, tasting like cucumber.  The mature fruits are hard of shell, green and yellow striped, a scoopable source of nutritious seeds and life-giving water.  Speaking to the "water" aspect of this, there are several advantages to considering "growing your own drinking water" in this manner.  I often get thirsty in the garden, and find that eating a cucumber assuages thirst and keeps me going. The African cucumber is particularly nice for this, as the inside stays watery and pleasant tasting regardless of stage of ripeness (outer shell does not get rubbery).  When I "drink" the insides of the horned cucumber, and chew up the seeds, my body feels just as balanced as if I'd drunk a can of raw coconut water, and my pocketbook says thank you, and the earth says thank you for not using an aluminum can! Having trouble finding clean drinking water?  Cycle the water source through the plants in your garden, and they will clean it up, and fix pure water in their tissues for you to use.  This may sound farfetched, but in areas where amoebic dysentary is prevalent, it can be lifesaving to peel and eat your water instead of drinking it from a glass!  These kinds of precautions are relevant in certain parts of the world, and may well become more relevant into the foggy future.  Lets be prepared!    Cultivation:   Standard garden culture for cucumbers.  Start indoors just prior to last frost or direct seed.  We started our's on May 17 in the greenhouse.  Germination was efficient and rapid.  We transplanted to the garden to 2 foot centers on June 1 and were eating cucumbers by July 1st.  These were way faster to mature than "marketmore."  The mature vines lasted throughout the summer and proved to be an effective weed barrier--they suppress the weeds between the beds.</p> <p><strong>Cucumis zambianus is a relatively new species, first officially described in 2008.</strong></p> </div>

<h2><strong>Greek Eggplant Seeds TSAKONIKI</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 10 or 50 seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Many people complain that eggplants are bitter, well guess what? The Greek variety Tsakoniki is not, it is actually mild, almost sweet. This eggplant is from the town of Leonidio in Peloponissos, it is long with white stripes and it has PDO status, which means that it must come from Leonidio to be called Tsakoniki.</p> <p>When eggplant season comes around there are all sorts of traditional Greek recipes to choose from.</p> <p>The eggplant is a decadent vegetable; when cooked it literally melts in your mouth and caramelizes giving it a sweet taste. Although Greeks have plenty of eggplant recipes, the Mediterranean in general is known for its love of eggplants and there is an abundance of  traditional recipes to choose from.</p> <p>Nutritionally, eggplants are a fantastic vegetable to include in your diet, here’s why: Eggplants are a source of soluble fiber, this type of fiber slows down the emptying of your stomach making you feel full longer and that can help you eat less if your are trying to lose weight. But one of the most important functions is that this fiber may lower the levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol in your blood.</p> <p>Eggplants also contain several substances that can protect from chronic disease. One of them is chlorogenic acid, don’t worry about pronouncing it correctly, all you need to know is that this substance is an antioxidant and it appears to control blood sugar levels. Anthocyanin is another a substance present in these vegetables, it is responsible for the purple color and it also has antioxidant properties, studies show that it may offer protection from cancer.</p>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <h2><strong>Asian chives, Chinese chives Seed (Allium tuberosum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 50 (0,2 g) seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Allium tuberosum (garlic chives, oriental garlic, Asian chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek[4]) is an Asian species of onion native to the Himalayas (Nepal, Bhutan, India) and to the Chinese Province of Shanxi. It is cultivated in many places and naturalized in scattered locations around the world.</p> <h3><strong>Description</strong></h3> <p>Allium tuberosum is a perennial bulbous plant with a distinctive growth habit with strap-shaped leaves unlike either onion or garlic, and straight thin white-flowering stalks that are much taller than the leaves. The flavor is more like garlic than chives. It grows in slowly expanding perennial clumps, but also readily sprouts from seed. In warmer areas (USDA Zones 8 and warmer), garlic chives may remain green all year round. In cold areas (USDA Zones 7 to 4b), leaves and stalks will completely die back to the ground, and re-sprout from roots or rhizomes in the spring. The elongated bulb is small (about 10 mm diameter), tough and fibrous, originating from the stout rhizome.</p> <h3><strong>Taxonomy</strong></h3> <p>Originally described by Johan Peter Rottler, the species name was validly published by Curt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel in 1825.[2] Allium tuberosum is classified within Allium in subgenus Butomissa (Salisb.) N. Friesen, section Butomissa (Salisb.) Kamelin, a very small group consisting of only A. tuberosum and A. ramosum L.,[10][11] which have been variously regarded as either one or two genetic entities.</p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Distribution and habitat</strong></span></h3> <p>Originating in the Siberian–Mongolian–North Chinese steppes,[10] but widely cultivated and naturalized. Allium tuberosum is currently reported to be found growing wild in scattered locations in the United States. (Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas, Nebraska and Wisconsin)  However, it is believed to be more widespread in North America because of the availability of seeds and seedlings of this species as an exotic herb and because of its high aggressiveness. This species is also widespread across much of mainland Europe[16] and invasive in other areas of the world.</p> <h3><strong>Ecology</strong></h3> <p>A late summer to autumnal blooming plant,[4] Allium tuberosum is one of several Allium species known as wild onion and/or wild garlic that in various parts of the world, such as Australia, are listed as noxious weeds[13] or as invasive "serious high impact environmental and / or agricultural weeds that spread rapidly and often create monocultures".</p> <h3><strong>Cultivation</strong></h3> <p>Often grown as an ornamental plant in gardens, several cultivars are available. A. tuberosum is distinctive by blooming later than most native or naturalised species of Allium.[14] It is hardy (USDA) to zones 4–10.</p> <p>A number of varieties have been developed for either improved leaf (e.g. 'Shiva') or flower stem (e.g. 'Nien Hua') production.[18] While the emphasis in Asia the emphasis has been primarily culinary, in North America the interest has been more as an ornamental.[19] 'Monstrosum' is a giant ornamental cultivar.</p> <h3><strong>Uses</strong></h3> <p>Uses have included ornamental plants, including cut and dried flowers, culinary herb, and traditional medicine. Garlic chives have been widely cultivated for centuries for its culinary value. The flat leaves, the stalks, and immature, unopened flower buds are used as a flavouring. Another form is "blanched" by regrowing after cutting undercover to produce white-yellow leaves and a subtler flavor.</p> <p>In East Asia (as Nira, Japanese 韮, or "green nira grass") and Central Asia (as Djusai) A. tuberosum is used for both garlic and sweet flavours, in soups and salads and traditional Japanese and Chinese dishes. Chinese names for A. tuberosum (韭菜) vary depending on the plant part as well as between Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese, as well as varying romanizations.[12][21] For instance the green leaves are Jiu cai, the flower stem Jiu cai hua and blanched leaves Jiu huang in Mandarin, but Gau tsoi (Kow choi), Gau tsoi fa and Gau wong in Cantonese respectively.[23] Other renderings include cuchay, kucai, kuchay, or kutsay.</p> <p>The leaves are used as a flavoring in a similar way to chives, scallions or garlic and are included as a stir fry ingredient. In China, they are often used to make dumplings with a combination of egg, shrimp and pork. They are a common ingredient in Chinese jiaozi dumplings and the Japanese and Korean equivalents. Garlic chives are widely used in Korean cuisine, where it is known as buchu ( Korean 부추), most notably in dishes such as buchukimchi (부추김치, garlic chive kimchi), buchujeon (부추전, garlic chive pancakes), or jaecheopguk (a guk, or clear soup, made with garlic chives and Asian clams).[24] A Chinese flatbread similar to the scallion pancake may be made with garlic chives instead of scallions; such a pancake is called a jiucai bing (韭菜饼) or jiucai you bing (韭菜油饼). Garlic chives are also one of the main ingredients used with Yi mein (E-Fu) dishes.[25] In Nepal, cooks fry a curried vegetable dish of potatoes and A. tuberosum known as dunduko sag.[26] In Vietnam, the leaves of garlic chives (Hẹ) are cut up into short pieces and used as the only vegetable in a broth with sliced pork kidneys.[27] In Manipur and other northeastern states of India, it is grown and used as a substitute to garlic and onion in cooking and is known as maroi nakupi.</p> <h3><strong>Seed Propagation </strong></h3> <p>Seed - sow spring in a cold frame. The seed has a fairly short viability and should not be used when more than 1 year old[206]. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle - if you want to produce clumps more quickly then put three plants in each pot. Plant out in late summer if the plants have developed sufficiently, otherwise plant them out the following spring. Division in early spring. Very easy, the plants divide successfully at almost any time of the year. The divisions can be planted straight out into their permanent positions if required.</p>

<h2><strong><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Annatto, Lipstick Tree Seeds (Bixa orellana)</span></em></strong></h2> <h3><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 5 seeds.</strong></span></h3> <p>Common name: Achiote, Aploppas, Annatto,Annatto, Annato, Arnotta, Bija, Latkan, Lipstick Tree, Rocou, Rocouyer, Roucou.</p> <p>This lovely tropical and sub-tropical shrub or bushy tree has glossy, ovate, evergreen leaves on twigs which are covered with rust-coloured scales when young and are bare when older. Sprays of attractive pink and white flowers open, producing striking, bright red, two-valved fruits, covered with dense soft bristles. When ripe, they split open revealing masses of small, inedible, fleshy seeds, covered with red-orange pulp. The inedible fruit is harvested for its seeds which produce the reddish orange dye annatto, which is one of the most important food grade natural colourants widely used in the dairy industry, and also for confectionery and bakery products, as well as non-edible purposes such as cosmetics and dying leather.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Sowing advice: </strong>These seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and should be sown into a well-drained, sandy compost at any time of the year, and covered thinly with sand or grit and kept moist. Keep at between 20-25 degrees C. Seeds sometimes germinate within 4 to 6 weeks although some varieties may take very much longer so please be patient.

Water uptake studies showed that seeds were fully imbibed after 24 h. Soaking in water for 24 h enhanced germination (82%) compared to the untreated control (57%). Germination was improved to 93% and was coupled with a significant (p &lt; 0.001) reduction in mean time to germination (MTG, 3.64 d) by soaking seeds in a 50 ppm gibberellic acid (GA3) solution for 24 h. Germination capacity for medium (97%) weight class seeds was higher than light (40%) or heavy seeds (60%). Significant (p &lt; 0.001) germination variability was recorded among eight seed collections. Seeds collected from populations in Kariavattom (82%) and Kulathupuzha (80%) produced significantly higher germination coupled with a low mean time to germination.</p> <h3><strong>WIKIPEDIA:</strong></h3> <p>Achiote (Bixa orellana) is a shrub or small tree originating from the tropical region of the Americas. North, Central and South American natives originally used the seeds to make red body paint and lipstick. For this reason, the achiote is sometimes called the lipstick tree.</p> <p> </p> <p>The tree is best known as the source of annatto, a natural orange-red condiment (also called "achiote" or "bijol") obtained from the waxy arils that cover its seeds. The ground seeds are widely used in traditional dishes in South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Mexico; such as cochinita pibil, chicken in achiote and caldo de olla. Annatto and its extracts are also used as an industrial food coloring to add yellow or orange color to many products such as butter, cheese, sausages, cakes, and popcorn.</p> <p> </p> <p>The species name was given by Linnaeus after the Spanish conquistador Francisco de Orellana, an early explorer of the Amazon River.[2] The name achiote derives from the Nahuatl word for the shrub, āchiotl [aːˈt͡ʃiot͡ɬ]. It may also be referred to as aploppas, or by its original Tupi name uruku, urucu or urucum ("red color"), which is also used for the body paint prepared from its seeds.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Culinary uses</strong></p> <p>Ground B. orellana seeds are often mixed with other seeds or spices to form a paste or powder for culinary use especially in Latin American, Jamaican, Chamorro, and Filipino cuisines. The seeds are heated in oil or lard to extract its dye and flavor for use in dishes and processed foods such as cheese, butter, soup, gravy, sauces, cured meats, and other items. The seeds impart a subtle flavor and aroma and a yellow to reddish-orange color to food. The seeds are used to color and flavor rice instead of the much more expensive saffron.</p> <p> </p> <p>In Brazil, a powder known as colorau or colorífico is made from the ground seeds combined with filler seeds like maize. This powder is similar to and sometimes replaces paprika.[6]</p> <p> </p> <p>The Yucatecan condiment called recado rojo or "achiote paste" is made from ground seeds combined with other spices. It is a mainstay of the Mexican and Belizean cuisines.</p> <p> </p> <p>A condiment called sazón ("seasoning" in Spanish) is commonly used in Puerto Rican cuisine for meats and fish. Sazón is made from achiote seeds, cumin, coriander seeds, salt, and garlic powder.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Traditional medical uses</strong></p> <p>The tree was incorporated into the traditional medicine of India, where different parts of the plant are used to treat various disorders,[7] although no treatment has been verified by clinical research.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Other uses</strong></p> <p>Achiote has long been used by American Indians to make a bright red paint for the body and hair. Body-painting with urucu remains an important tradition of many Brazilian native tribes. It was reportedly used for body paint among the native Taínos in Borinquen, Puerto Rico. The use of achiote hair dye by men of the Tsáchila of Ecuador is the origin of their Spanish name, the Colorados.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Aztec people of Mexico used achiote seeds as source of a red ink for manuscript painting in the 16th century.</p> <p> </p> <p>The plant is also valued for its stem fibre (used in rope mats) and an adhesive gum which is extracted from all parts.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Characteristics</strong></p> <p>Bixa orellana is a tall shrub to small evergreen tree 6–10 m (20–33 ft) high. It bears clusters of 5 cm (2 in) bright white to pink flowers, resembling single wild roses, appearing at the tips of the branches. The fruits are in clusters: spiky looking red-brown seed pods covered in soft spines. Each pod contains many seeds covered with a thin waxy blood-red aril. When fully mature, the pod dries, hardens, and splits open, exposing the seeds.</p> <p>The color of the seed coating is due mainly to the carotenoid pigments bixin and norbixin.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Cultivation</strong></p> <p>Bixa orellana originated in South America but it has spread to many parts of the world. It is grown easily and quickly in frost-free regions, from sub-tropical to tropical climates, and sheltered from cool winds. It prefers year-round moisture, good drainage, and moderately fertile soil in full sun or partial shade. It can be propagated from seed and cuttings. Cutting-grown plants flower at a younger age than seedlings.</p> <p> </p> <p>The main commercial producers are countries in South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and also India and Sri Lanka, where it was introduced by the Spanish in the 17th century. Production statistics are not usually available, and would not provide a reliable guide to international trade since many of the producing countries use significant quantities domestically (e.g. Brazil is a large producer and consumer, needing additional imports). Annual world production of dried annatto seed at the beginning of the 21st century was estimated at about 10,000 tons, of which 7,000 tons enter international trade. Peru is the largest exporter of annatto seed, annually about 4,000 tons; Brazil the largest producer with about 5,000 tons. Kenya exports annually about 1,500 tons annatto seed and extracts and is the second-largest exporter, after Peru. Côte d'Ivoire and Angola are also exporters.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Industrial uses</strong></p> <p>Before synthetic dyes revolutionized industry, the tree was planted commercially for the pigment, extracted by solvent or boiling the seeds in oil, which was used to color cheese, margarine, chocolate, fabric and paints. Annatto oil is rich in tocotrienols, beta-carotene, essential oil, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, flavonoids and vitamin C.[5] The seeds are collected from wild-growing bushes or from plantations in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.</p>
