Description
Cynara cardunculus
This unusual vegetable is a Mediterranean delicacy! It’s closely related to the artichoke, but is grown for its thick, edible leaf stalks, which have a distinctive flavor and can be eaten in soups or sauted. It is perennial in zones 7-10, though it does best in areas with long, mild summers, as high heat will cause it to develop bitter flavors. Stalks will require blanching (wrapping in fabric or paper to keep light off of them) for the last four weeks before harvest, to develop the creamy color and delicate texture this vegetable is known for.
1 gram packet contains a minimum of 17 seeds.

Great for so many recipes to add nutritional value
Malcolm Bryant? –
They are fresh and healthy. Arrived as expected, sealed properly and as advertised. I love being able to buy these seeds raw- there is so much nutritional value. Expiration date is far off and they’re a good value for the price.
Sydney Hamilton? –
My husband and I agree that these pumpkins are the freshest and tastiest that we have ever eaten. Will reorder when they get low. I am a fan.
Zane Griffin? –
This is a nice nix of seeds and a good value. The other seed mixes are over-priced.
