Egyptian Spinach SEEDS – Untreated & Heirloom – Hot Summer Edible – Self-Seeding – Molokhia – Corchorus olitorius

Egyptian Spinach is an easy-to-grow annual that is grown for its leaves. It loves our hot Australian summer so can be grown in full sun, and it will reseed itself when you let it go to seed which I always do. Egyptian Spinach is a good source of vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, iron, and beta-carotene. Its leaves have been widely used in natural medicine for centuries. The soft leaves are very tasty and can be enjoyed raw, steamed, in salads, on sandwiches, in stir-fries, and other dishes. Non-GMO, non-hybrid, open-pollinated, no chemically treated, heirloom seeds.

Broadleaf Plantain SEEDS – Untreated & Heirloom – Greater Plantain – Medicinal Perennial Herb – Plantago major

Broadleaf Plantain is an edible perennial plant that has been used in the kitchen and in traditional medicine since ancient times. The young soft leaves and small greenish flowers are edible raw, and cooked. We like them in salads, stir-fries, and soups. The taste is similar to spinach. The seeds are nice when roasted. The plant grows in a wide range of soil and everywhere in Australia. The entire plant can be dehydrated and used for tea, infusions, tinctures, and infused oils. “Some of its traditional properties including wound healing, antipyretic, antitussive, anti-infective, anti-hemorrhagic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, laxative, astringent and hemostatic have been confirmed in recent researches (Najafian et.al. 2018)”

Purple Sweet Potato PLANT – Untreated & Heirloom – Molokai Purple – Ipomea costata

Purple Sweet Potato – Ipomea costata is an easy-to-grow and very tasty perennial vegetable with lots of health benefits. ‘Sweet potato is considered an excellent source of dietary carotenoids, and polysaccharides, whose health benefits include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity, cardiovascular protection, anticancer properties and improvement in neurological and memory capacity, metabolic disorders, and intestinal barrier function. Moreover, the purple sweet potato, due to its high anthocyanin content, represents a unique food option for consumers, as well as a potential source of functional ingredients for healthy food products. (Emily P. Laveriano-Santos et.al., 2022 – Link to article in the description)’. The leaves are also edible and we mostly use them in stir-fries or as a spinach substitute, braised for a couple of minutes in a little butter and garlic. Yumm!
