Ashitaba Seeds AKA "Tomorrow Leaf"

♥ASHITABA SEEDS ARE HERE!!♥

This listing will be for 10 fresh Ashitaba seeds (we usually provide a couple extras just in case).  Seeds may be a mixture of green and brown.  Some seeds may come attached as a pair which is counted as 2 seeds. Unlike most vegetables, Ashitaba seeds do not germinate as easily and quickly as Broccoli, beets or radish.  Approximately 35%-70% of Ashitaba seeds will germinate. 

>> NOTE: I DO NOT RECOMMEND purchasing these seeds if you are new at gardening. It's best to start this from a plant for better success.

Due to the fragile nature of Ashitaba seeds, we created a unique method to ship them so they can arrive to you healthfully.

♥How To Grow From Seed♥
There's two methods to starting Ashitaba from seed.

Method 1: Place a damp paper towel, or a bag of lightly moist soil with seeds inside.  Refrigerate for 2 weeks prior to planting. This is the conventional method mentioned by many growers.

Method 2: Sprinkle seeds directly in moist soil then lightly sprinkle about 1/4 inch of soil to cover.  Place a plastic dome, or bag on top to trap some humidity.  Poking holes in the bag can improve air circulation.  Place seed tray/pot in a warm, bright location.  Keep soil moist (not damp).  Lightly warm soil will help seeds to sprout. I find this way to be quite effective with my fresh harvested seeds. 

Seeds may take 2-4 weeks to germinate. Once seedlings reach 2-3 inches tall, carefully separate the plants to transfer into larger containers.  Grow them in warm, bright location.  Keep soil moist.

♥About Ashitaba♥
Ashitaba, AKA "Tomorrow's leaf" -- is a biennial plant that is used in Japanese culture for it's highly nutritional benefits.

Many mistaken this Ashitaba with others in the Angelica family.  The true Ashitaba (scientific name: Angelica keiskei koidzumi) as you can see in the photo -- the potent/medicinal variety has the yellow sap in the stem when it is more mature. I cut the largest stem of mine to show you in the photo. The base of a fully mature Ashitaba is the size of your wrist!

♥How To Use♥
Leaves and stems are edible.  The yellow sap is most potent and the leaves can be made or boiled as tea.  I would describe the taste of stem as a gin and tonic with a celery stick!
