🌿 Japanese Seed Kit
The Japanese seed kit offers a selection of unique and interesting plants, each with its own distinctive characteristics:

🌱 Licorice Basil (Thai Basil)
Also known as anise basil or Persian basil, this variety owes its fragrance to anethole, the same compound found in anise. Widely used in Italian and Thai cuisine, it features dark stems and purple-veined leaves with a pleasant anise aroma.
Fun fact: Basil leaf infusions have traditionally been considered tonic and stimulating.

🥕 Daikon (Japanese Radish)
Also known as Chinese or Japanese radish, “daikon” means “large root,” often exceeding 30 cm in length. It belongs to the radish family, known for its high nutritional value. The large white root and leafy greens are both edible—perfect in soups, salads, or as sprouts. Rich in vitamin C, low in calories, and appreciated for its digestive properties.

🫛 Edamame (Soybean)
Young soybeans widely used in Asian cuisine. Edamame seeds are rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins, with a delicate flavor and crunchy texture.
For best germination, soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Pods are ready to harvest when fully developed and bright green.

🌿 Okra (Hibiscus esculentus)
An annual herbaceous plant from the mallow family. Plants can grow over 2 meters tall and are naturally sturdy. Leaves are broad and slightly prickly, similar to pumpkin plants. Harvest pods when still small and tender to avoid toughness. Widely used as a vegetable in African and Indian cuisine.

🥬 Pak Choi (Chinese Cabbage)
A leafy green vegetable of Asian origin, known for its crisp texture and slightly bitter taste. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it can be grown in pots or in the ground. Prefers full sun or partial shade. Fast-growing and cold-resistant, though sensitive to excessive heat. With proper care, it brings a fresh, oriental flavor to your table.
