Organic Red amaranth seeds (microgreens)

While there are several cool season legumes grown as field crops in the U.S. (such as chickpeas, lentils, lupines, and faba beans), there are relatively few alternative legumes that are heat and drought tolerant.

Although very familiar to many, the chick pea is a crop rarely seen in the UK, though it has been cultivated for centuries in Asia and the Mediterranean. Our seed comes from Italy, and is of the white-skinned variety which has a superior flavour.

The variety is high-yielding, mid-early ripening, the duration of the growing season is 82 - 85 days, the world's first chickpea variety, which in its characteristics stands between the Desi and Kabuli types with large seeds.

Buckwheat seeds are used for planting in a container at home all year round, it is best to use raw microgreens, buckwheat seedlings are very high in magnesium and phosphorus.

The tree has small white flowers. It produces small, bright red berries. The fruit is bitter and astringent, making it inedible when raw. The fruit can be cooked to make jellies, jams, sauces and marmalade. It ranges from southern Europe to western Asia.

This variety differs from others in the aroma of flowers and dry raw materials, easy to smoke, has good tasting and smoking properties, is used to make cigars and cigarettes, and essential oils are also obtained from it.

Another very popular cigar variety. Will grow up to 6-7 ft. tall. It's leaves are longer, more slender and slightly darker than the Habano 2000. It's cured leaves have a silky texture making it a good covering for cigars.
