KIT CONTENTS: The Japanese Seed Kit offers a selection of fascinating plants, each with unique characteristics:

LIQUORICE BASIL – Also known as anise basil or Persian basil, this aromatic herb owes its distinct scent to anethole, the same compound found in anise. Popular in both Italian and Thai cuisine, it features dark stems, purple-veined leaves, and a sweet, anise-like fragrance.
Fun fact: A wine infused with basil leaves is considered tonic and aphrodisiac, as basil is known to stimulate the adrenal cortex.

DAIKON – Meaning "large root" in Japanese, daikon is a long, white radish that can grow over 30 cm. A powerhouse of nutrition, it belongs to the radish family and is rich in vitamin C, low in calories, and known for its fat-burning properties. Both the root and its leafy greens are edible, commonly added to soups and salads. This variety is also suitable for sprout cultivation.

EDAMAME – Young, tender soybeans widely used in Asian cuisine. Rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins, they have a delicate flavor and a satisfying crunch. To enhance germination, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Harvest the pods when they are plump and bright green for the best taste and texture.

OKRA (Hibiscus esculentus) – A robust annual plant from the Malvaceae family, okra can grow over two meters tall without support. Its large, lobed leaves may have fine, stinging hairs. The fruits should be harvested when just a few centimeters long, as they quickly become woody. Okra is a staple vegetable in African and Indian cuisine.

PAK-CHOI – Also known as Chinese cabbage, this leafy green is packed with vitamins and minerals. Its crisp leaves have a mild, slightly bitter taste. Pak-Choi grows well in pots or open ground, thriving in full sun or partial shade. It is cold-resistant but sensitive to excessive heat. With minimal care, it brings a fresh, authentic Asian touch to your dishes.
