Dill is grown widely in<span> </span>Eurasia<span> </span>where its leaves and seeds are used as a herb or spice for flavouring food.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Growth">Growth</span></h2> <p>Dill grows up to 40–60 cm (16–24 in), with slender hollow stems and alternate, finely divided, softly delicate<span> </span>leaves<span> </span>10–20 cm (4–8 in) long. The ultimate leaf divisions are 1–2 mm (0.04–0.08 in) broad, slightly broader than the similar leaves of<span> </span>fennel, which are threadlike, less than 1 mm (0.04 in) broad, but harder in texture.

as<span> </span>herbs<span> </span>in<span> </span>Europe<span> </span>and central Asia.</p> <p>Like<span> </span>caraway, the fernlike leaves of dill are aromatic and are used to flavor many<span> </span>foods<span> </span>such as<span> </span>gravlax<span> </span>(cured<span> </span>salmon) and other<span> </span>fish<span> </span>dishes,<span> </span>borscht, and other<span> </span>soups, as well as<span> </span>pickles<span> </span>(where the dill flower is sometimes used). Dill is best when used fresh, as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried, however,<span> </span>freeze-dried<span> </span>dill leaves retain their flavor relatively well for a few months.</p> <p>Dill oil<span> </span>is extracted from the leaves, stems, and seeds of the plant. The oil from the seeds is distilled and used in the manufacturing of soaps.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference">[8]</sup></p> <p>Dill is the<span> </span>eponymous<span> </span>ingredient in dill<span> </span>pickles.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"></sup></p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="European_cuisine">European cuisine</span></h3> <p>In<span> </span>central<span> </span>and<span> </span>eastern Europe,<span> </span>Scandinavia,<span> </span>Baltic states,<span> </span>Ukraine, and<span> </span>Russia, dill is a staple<span> </span>culinary herb<span> </span>along with<span> </span>chives<span> </span>and<span> </span>parsley. Fresh, finely cut dill leaves are used as a topping in soups, especially the hot red<span> </span>borsht<span> </span>and the cold borsht mixed with curds, kefir, yogurt, or sour cream, which is served during hot summer weather and is called<span> </span>okroshka. It also is popular in summer to drink fermented milk (curds, kefir, yogurt, or buttermilk) mixed with dill (and sometimes other herbs).</p> <p>In the same way, dill is used as a topping for boiled potatoes covered with fresh butter – especially in summer when there are so-called "new", or young, potatoes. The dill leaves may be mixed with butter, making a dill butter, to serve the same purpose. Dill leaves mixed with<span> </span>tvorog, form one of the traditional cheese spreads used for sandwiches. Fresh dill leaves are used throughout the year as an ingredient in salads,<span> </span><i>e.g.</i>, one made of lettuce, fresh cucumbers, and tomatoes, as<span> </span>basil<span> </span>leaves are used in Italy and Greece.</p> <p>Russian cuisine<span> </span>is noted for liberal use of dill, where it is known as<span> </span><i lang="ru" title="Russian language text">укроп</i>. Its supposed<span> </span>antiflatulent<span> </span>activity caused some Russian cosmonauts to recommend its use in<span> </span>human spaceflight<span> </span>due to the confined quarters and closed air supply.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference">[10]</sup></p> <p>In<span> </span>Polish cuisine, fresh dill leaves mixed with sour cream are the basis for dressings. It is especially popular to use this kind of sauce with freshly cut cucumbers, which practically are wholly immersed in the sauce, making a salad called<span> </span>mizeria. Dill sauce is used hot for baked freshwater fish and for chicken or turkey breast, or used hot or cold for hard-boiled eggs. A dill-based soup, (zupa koperkowa), served with potatoes and hard-boiled eggs, is popular in Poland. Whole stems including roots and flower buds are used traditionally to prepare Polish-style pickled cucumbers (ogórki kiszone), especially the so-called low-salt cucumbers ("ogórki małosolne"). Whole stems of dill (often including the roots) also are cooked with potatoes, especially the potatoes of autumn and winter, so they resemble the flavor of the newer potatoes found in summer. Some kinds of fish, especially trout and salmon, traditionally are baked with the stems and leaves of dill.</p> <p>In the<span> </span>Czech Republic, white dill sauce made of cream (or milk), butter, flour, vinegar, and dill is called<span> </span><i>koprová omáčka</i><span> </span>(also<span> </span><i>koprovka</i><span> </span>or<span> </span><i>kopračka</i>) and is served either with boiled eggs and potatoes, or with dumplings and boiled beef. Another Czech dish with dill is a soup called,<span> </span><i>kulajda</i>, that contains mushrooms (traditionally wild ones).</p> <p>In Germany, dill is popular as a seasoning for fish and many other dishes, chopped as a garnish on potatoes, and as a flavoring in pickles.</p> <p>In the UK, dill may be used in<span> </span>fish pie.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Bulgaria<span> </span>dill is widely used in traditional vegetable salads, and most notably the yogurt-based cold soup<span> </span>Tarator. It is also used in the preparation of sour pickles, cabbage, and other dishes.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Romania<span> </span>dill (<i>mărar</i>) is widely used as an ingredient for soups such as<span> </span><i>borş</i><span> </span>(pronounced "borsh"), pickles, and other dishes, especially those based on peas, beans, and cabbage. It is popular for dishes based on potatoes and mushrooms and may be found in many summer salads (especially cucumber salad, cabbage salad and lettuce salad). During springtime, it is used in omelets with spring onions. It often complements sauces based on sour cream or yogurt and is mixed with salted cheese and used as a filling. Another popular dish with dill as a main ingredient is dill sauce, which is served with eggs and fried sausages.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Hungary, dill is very widely used. It is popular as a sauce or filling, and mixed with a type of cottage cheese. Dill is also used for<span> </span>pickling<span> </span>and in salads. The Hungarian name for dill is<span> </span><i>kapor</i>.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Serbia, dill is known as<span> </span><i>mirodjija</i><span> </span>and is used as an addition to soups, potato and cucumber salads, and French fries. It features in the Serbian proverb, "бити мирођија у свакој чорби" /biti mirodjija u svakoj čorbi/ (to be a dill in every soup), which corresponds to the English proverb "to have a finger in every pie".</p> <p>In<span> </span>Greece, dill is known as 'άνηθος' (anithos). In antiquity it was used as an ingredient in wines that were called "anithites oinos" (wine with anithos-dill). In modern days, dill is used in salads, soups, sauces, and fish and vegetable dishes.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Santa Maria,<span> </span>Azores, dill (<i>endro</i>) is the most important ingredient of the traditional Holy Ghost soup (<i>sopa do Espírito Santo</i>). Dill is found ubiquitously in Santa Maria, yet curiously, is rare in the other Azorean Islands.</p> <p>In<span> </span>Sweden, dill is a common spice or herb. The top of fully grown dill is called<span> </span><i>krondill</i><span> </span>(English: Crown dill); this is used when cooking<span> </span>crayfish. The<span> </span><i>krondill</i><span> </span>is put into the water after the crayfish is boiled, but still in hot and salt water. Then the entire dish is refrigerated for at least 24 hours before being served (with toasted bread and butter).<span> </span><i>Krondill</i><span> </span>also is used for<span> </span>cucumber<span> </span>pickles. Small cucumbers, sliced or not, are put into a solution of hot water, mild acetic<span> </span>white vinegar<span> </span>(made from vodka, not wine), sugar, and<span> </span><i>krondill</i>. After a month or two of fermentation, the cucumber pickles are ready to eat, for instance, with pork, brown sauce, and potatoes, as a "sweetener". The thinner part of dill and young plants may be used with boiled fresh potatoes (especially the first potatoes of the year, "new potatoes", which usually are small and have a very thin skin). In salads it is used together with, or instead, of other green herbs, such as<span> </span>parsley,<span> </span>chives, and<span> </span>basil. It often is paired up with chives when used in food. Dill often is used to flavor fish and seafood in Sweden, for example, gravlax and various herring pickles, among them the traditional,<span> </span><b>sill i dill</b><span> </span>(literally "herring in dill"). In contrast to the various fish dishes flavored with dill, there is also a traditional Swedish dish called, dillkött, which is a meaty stew flavored with dill. The dish commonly contains pieces of veal or lamb that are boiled until tender and then served together with a vinegary dill sauce. Dill seeds may be used in breads or<span> </span>akvavit. A newer, non-traditional use of dill is to pair it with chives as a flavoring for potato chips. These are called "dillchips" and are quite popular in Sweden.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Asian_and_Middle_Eastern_cooking">Asian and Middle Eastern cooking</span></h3> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Nation/Region</td> <td>Language</td> <td>Local Name of Ingredient (Dill)</td> <td>Dish(es) Commonly Used In</td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Marathi, Konkani</td> <td>Shepu (शेपू)</td> <td>Shepuchi Bhaji, Shepu Pulao, Ashe Mast</td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Hindi</td> <td>Soa / Soya (सोआ)</td> <td>Soa Sabzi(with potato).As a flavor in:- Green Kheema, Kheema samosa</td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Kannada</td> <td>sabbasige soppu (ಸಬೈಗೆ ಸೊಪ್ಪು)</td> <td>Curry</td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Telugu</td> <td>Soa-Kura (శత పుష్పం)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Tamil</td> <td>Sadakuppi (சதகுப்பி)</td> <td>Curry</td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Malayalam</td> <td>Chatakuppa (ചതകുപ്പ)</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Punjabi</td> <td>Soa</td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td>India</td> <td>Gujarati</td> <td>Suva</td> <td>Suvaa ni Bhaji(with potato)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Iran</td> <td>Persian</td> <td>Shevid</td> <td>Aash, Baghali Polo, Shevid Polo, Mast O Khiar</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Arab world</td> <td>Arabic</td> <td>شبت، شبث (shabat, shabath)</td> <td>As flavoring in various dishes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Thailand</td> <td>Thai</td> <td>phak chee Lao(ผักชีลาว)</td> <td>Gaeng om(แกงอ่อม)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Vietnam</td> <td>Vietnamese</td> <td>Thì là</td> <td>Many fish dishes in Northern Vietnam</td> </tr> <tr> <td>China</td> <td>Chinese</td> <td>shiluo</td> <td>baozi</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>In<span> </span>Iran, dill is known as<span> </span><i>shevid</i><span> </span>and sometimes, is used with rice and called<span> </span><i>shevid-polo</i>.

When fully grown, this plant grows to about 5 feet in height and 3 feet in diameter.</p> <p>The plant is easy to grow from seed in a well drained soil, which should be allowed to dry between watering.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Culture</strong></p> <p>Having been used by many cultures, Porophyllum ruderale is known by many names, including Bolivian coriander, quillquiña (also spelled quirquiña or quilquiña), yerba porosa, killi, pápalo, tepegua, "mampuritu" and pápaloquelite. Despite the name "Bolivian coriander", this plant is not botanically related to Coriandrum sativum.</p> <p> </p> <p>This plant is known in Mexico as pápaloquelite, commonly accompanying the famous Mexican tacos. Not all Mexicans enjoy its taste, but some find that it improves the flavor of tacos and typical Mexican salsas and soups.</p> <p> </p> <p>In Puebla cuisine, pápalo is used as a condiment on traditional cemita sandwiches, a regional type of Mexican torta.</p> <p>Papalo was used in the Azteca era, but never as medicine, only as food.[citation needed]</p> <p>One study claims that Papalo exhibits some health benefits such as: lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, and aiding digestion.</p> <p> </p> <table style="width:551px;" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Sowing Instructions</span></strong></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="26%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Propagation:</span></strong></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="74%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Seeds</span></strong></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="26%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Pretreat:</span></strong></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="74%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">0</span></strong></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="26%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Stratification:</span></strong></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="74%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">0</span></strong></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="26%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Sowing Time:</span></strong></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="74%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">all year round</span></strong></p> </td> </tr><tr><td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" width="26%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Sowing Depth:</span></strong></p> </td> <td valign="top" width="74%"> <p align="center"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Needs Light to germinate!

<h2><strong>Cumin Seed (Cuminum cyminum)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;" class=""><strong>Price for Package of 240 (1g) seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Cumin (/ˈkjuːmᵻn/ or UK /ˈkʌmᵻn/, US /ˈkuːmᵻn/), sometimes spelled cummin, (Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native from the east Mediterranean to India.</p> <p>Its seeds (each one contained within a fruit, which is dried) are used in the cuisines of many different cultures, in both whole and ground form. It also has many uses as a traditional medicinal plant.</p> <p>Cumin is the dried seed of the herb Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family. The cumin plant grows to 30–50 cm (12–20 in) tall and is harvested by hand. It is an annual herbaceous plant, with a slender, glabrous, branched stem that is 20–30 cm (8–12 in) tall and has a diameter of 3–5 cm (1 1⁄4–2 in).[9] Each branch has two to three sub-branches. All the branches attain the same height, therefore the plant has a uniform canopy.[9] The stem is coloured grey or dark green. The leaves are 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long, pinnate or bipinnate, with thread-like leaflets. The flowers are small, white or pink, and borne in umbels. Each umbel has five to seven umbellts.[9] The fruit is a lateral fusiform or ovoid achene 4–5 mm (1⁄6–1⁄5 in) long, containing two mericarps with a single seed.[9] Cumin seeds have eight ridges with oil canals.[9] They resemble caraway seeds, being oblong in shape, longitudinally ridged, and yellow-brown in colour, like other members of the Umbelliferae family such as caraway, parsley, and dill.</p> <p><strong>Etymology</strong></p> <p>The English "cumin" is derived from the Old English, from Latin cuminum,[3] which is the Latinisation of the Greek κύμινον (kyminon),[4] cognate with Hebrew כמון (kammon) and Arabic كمون (kammūn).[5] The earliest attested form of the word in Greek is the Mycenaean.</p> <div> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" width="100%"> <h3 align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">Sowing Instructions</span></h3> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Propagation:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">Seeds</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Pretreat:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Stratification:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">0</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">all year round</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Depth:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Needs Light to germinate!</strong></span> Just sprinkle on the surface of the substrate + gently press</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Sowing Mix:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">Coir or sowing mix + sand or perlite</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination temperature:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">20-25°C</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Location:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">bright + keep constantly moist not wet</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Germination Time:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">1 - 8 weeks</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Watering:</strong></span></p> </td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;">Water regularly during the growing season</span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top"> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><em>Copyright © 2012 Seeds Gallery - Saatgut Galerie - Galerija semena.&nbsp;</em></strong></span></p> <p align="center"><span style="color: #008000;"><strong><em></em><em>All Rights Reserved.</em></strong></span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>FLORENCE Fennel Seeds large bulbs</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;" class=""><strong>Price for Package of 250 (1g) seeds.</strong></span><span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br></span></strong></span></h2> <p>Mid to late season fennel, well-known as a premium selection for its very large oval bulbs, average weight about 600 g, with thick, flavorsome sticks.</p> <p>Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species in the genus Foeniculum (treated as the sole species in the genus by most botanists). It is a member of the family Apiaceae (formerly the Umbelliferae). It is a hardy, perennial, umbelliferous herb, with yellow flowers and feathery leaves. It is indigenous to the shores of the Mediterranean but has become widely naturalized in many parts of the world, especially on dry soils near the sea-coast and on riverbanks.</p> <p>It is a highly aromatic and flavorful herb with culinary and medicinal uses and, along with the similar-tasting anise, is one of the primary ingredients of absinthe. Florence fennel or finocchio is a selection with a swollen, bulb-like stem base that is used as a vegetable.</p> <p>Fennel is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the mouse moth and the anise swallowtail.</p> <p><strong>Etymology and names</strong></p> <p>The word "fennel" developed from the Middle English fenel or fenyl. This came from the Old English fenol or finol, which in turn came from the Latin feniculum or foeniculum, the diminutive of fenum or faenum, meaning "hay". The Latin word for the plant was ferula, which is now used as the genus name of a related plant.</p> <p><strong>Vernacular names</strong></p> <p>Fennel is known as सौंफ़ (Saunf) in Hindi. It is called பெருஞ்சீரகம் (perunjeeragam) in Tamil and പെരുംജീരകം (perumjeeragam) in Malayalam.</p> <p><strong>Cultural references</strong></p> <p>As Old English finule, fennel is one of the nine plants invoked in the pagan Anglo-Saxon Nine Herbs Charm, recorded in the 10th century.</p> <p>In Greek mythology, Prometheus used the stalk of a fennel plant to steal fire from the gods. Also, it was from the giant fennel, Ferula communis, that the Bacchanalian wands of the god Dionysus and his followers were said to have come.</p> <p>The Greek name for fennel is a marathon (μάραθον) or marathos (μάραθος),[3] and the place of the famous battle of Marathon and the subsequent sports event Marathon (Μαραθών), literally means a plain with fennels.</p> <p><strong>Appearance</strong></p> <p>Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare, is a perennial herb. It is erect, glaucous green, and grows to heights of up to 2.5 m, with hollow stems. The leaves grow up to 40 cm long; they are finely dissected, with the ultimate segments filiform (threadlike), about 0.5 mm wide. (Its leaves are similar to those of dill but thinner.) The flowers are produced in terminal compound umbels 5–15 cm wide, each umbel section having 20–50 tiny yellow flowers on short pedicels. The fruit is a dry seed from 4–10 mm long, half as wide or less, and grooved.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation and uses</strong></p> <p>Fennel is widely cultivated, both in its native range and elsewhere, for its edible, strongly flavored leaves and fruits. Its aniseed flavour comes from anethole, an aromatic compound also found in anise and star anise, and its taste and aroma are similar to theirs, though usually not as strong.</p> <p>The Florence fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Azoricum Group; syn. F. vulgare var. azoricum) is a cultivar group with inflated leaf bases which form a bulb-like structure. It is of cultivated origin,[7] and has a mild anise-like flavor, but is more aromatic and sweeter. Florence fennel plants are smaller than the wild type.[citation needed] Their inflated leaf bases are eaten as a vegetable, both raw and cooked. There are several cultivars of Florence fennel, which is also known by several other names, notably the Italian name finocchio. In North American supermarkets, it is often mislabelled as "anise".</p> <p>Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpureum' or 'Nigra', "bronze-leaved" fennel, is widely available as a decorative garden plant.</p> <p>Fennel has become naturalized along roadsides, in pastures, and in other open sites in many regions, including northern Europe, the United States, southern Canada and in much of Asia and Australia. It propagates well by seed and is considered an invasive species and a weed in Australia and the United States.[11] In western North America, fennel can be found from the coastal and inland wildland-urban interface east into hill and mountain areas, excluding desert habitats.</p> <p>Florence fennel is one of the three main herbs used in the preparation of absinthe, an alcoholic mixture which originated as a medicinal elixir in Switzerland and became, by the late 19th century, a popular alcoholic drink in France and other countries.</p> <p><strong>Culinary uses</strong></p> <p>Sugar-coated and un-coated fennel seeds are used in India and Pakistan in mukhwas, an after-meal snack and breath freshener.</p> <p>The bulb, foliage, and seeds of the fennel plant are widely used in many of the culinary traditions of the world. The small flowers of wild fennel (mistakenly known in America as fennel "pollen" [12]) are the most potent form of fennel, but also the most expensive.[13] Dried fennel seed is an aromatic, anise-flavored spice, brown or green in color when fresh, slowly turning a dull grey as the seed ages. For cooking, green seeds are optimal.[6] The leaves are delicately flavored and similar in shape to those of dill. The bulb is a crisp vegetable that can be sautéed, stewed, braised, grilled, or eaten raw. They are used for garnishes and to add flavor to salads. They are also added to sauces and served with pudding. The leaves used in soups and fish sauce and sometimes eaten raw as a salad.</p> <p>Fennel seeds are sometimes confused with those of anise, which are similar in taste and appearance, though smaller. Fennel is also used as a flavoring in some natural toothpaste. The seeds are used in cookery and sweet desserts.</p> <p>Many cultures in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and the Middle East use fennel seed in their cookery. It is one of the most important spices in Kashmiri Pandit and Gujarati cooking.[15] It is an essential ingredient of the Assamese/Bengali/Oriya spice mixture panch phoron[16] and in Chinese five-spice powders. In many parts of India and Pakistan, roasted fennel seeds are consumed as mukhwas, an after-meal digestive and breath freshener. Fennel leaves are used as leafy green vegetables either by themselves or mixed with other vegetables, cooked to be served and consumed as part of a meal, in some parts of India. In Syria and Lebanon, it is used to make a special kind of egg omelette (along with onions, and flour) called ijjeh.</p> <p>Many egg, fish, and other dishes employ fresh or dried fennel leaves. Florence fennel is a key ingredient in some Italian and German salads, often tossed with chicory and avocado, or it can be braised and served as a warm side dish. It may be blanched or marinated, or cooked in risotto.</p> <p>In Spain the stems of the fennel plant are used in the preparation of pickled eggplants, "berenjenas de Almagro".</p> <p><strong>Medicinal uses</strong></p> <p>Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) essential oil in clear glass vial</p> <p>Fennel contains anethole, which can explain some of its medical effects: It, or its polymers, act as phytoestrogens.</p> <p>The essence of fennel can be used as a safe and effective herbal drug for primary dysmenorrhea, but could have lower potency than mefenamic acid at the current study level.</p> <p><strong>Intestinal tract</strong></p> <p>Fennel is widely employed as a carminative, both in humans and in veterinary medicine (e.g., dogs), to treat flatulence by encouraging the expulsion of intestinal gas. Anethole is responsible for the carminative action.</p> <p>Mrs. Eencher Herbal states:</p> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;On account of its carminative properties, fennel is chiefly used medicinally with purgatives to allay their side effects, and for this purpose forms one of the ingredients of the well-known compound licorice powder. Fennel water has properties similar to those of anise and dill water: mixed with sodium bicarbonate and syrup, these waters constitute the domestic 'gripe water' used to correct the flatulence of infants. The volatile oil of fennel has these properties in concentration. Commercial preparations of fennel [1] are widely available as an alternative treatment for baby colic.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fennel tea, also employed as a carminative, is made by pouring boiling water on a teaspoonful of bruised fennel seeds.</p> <p>Fennel can be made into a syrup to treat babies with colic (formerly thought to be due to digestive upset), but long-term ingestion of fennel preparations by babies is a known cause of thelarche.</p> <p><strong>Eyes</strong></p> <p>In the Indian subcontinent, fennel seeds are also eaten raw, sometimes with some sweetener, as they are said to improve eyesight. Ancient Romans regarded fennel as the herb of sight.[21] Root extracts were often used in tonics to clear cloudy eyes. Extracts of fennel seed have been shown in animal studies to have potential use in the treatment of glaucoma.</p> <p><strong>Blood and urine</strong></p> <p>Fennel may be an effective diuretic and a potential drug for the treatment of hypertension.</p> <p><strong>Breastmilk</strong></p> <p>There are historical anecdotes that fennel is a galactagogue,[25] improving the milk supply of a breastfeeding mother. This use, although not supported by direct evidence, is sometimes justified by the fact that fennel is a source of phytoestrogens, which promote the growth of breast tissue. However, normal lactation does not involve growth of breast tissue. A single case report of fennel tea ingested by a breastfeeding mother resulted in neurotoxicity for the newborn child.</p> <p><strong>Other uses</strong></p> <p>Syrup prepared from fennel juice was formerly given for chronic coughs. It is one of the plants which is said to be disliked by fleas, and powdered fennel has the effect of driving away fleas from kennels and stables.</p> <p><strong>Parts Used:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Seeds, leaves, roots, oil - the whole plant</p> <p><strong>Constituents:</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;the essential oil is made up predominantly of anethole (50 to 80%), limonene, fenchone, and estragole. the seeds also contain fiber and complex carbohydrates.</p> <p>Fennel also acts as an excellent digestive aid to relieve abdominal cramps, gas and bloating. The fresh stems of fennel can be eaten much like celery, the seeds add a lovely anise flavor to fish and other dishes. If you expect to eat a vegetable that you have trouble digesting, like cabbage, try adding fennel seeds to your recipe.</p> <p>Fennel seeds (as well as anise) contain creosol and alpha-pinene, chemicals that help to loosen congestion and make coughs more productive. Fennel also calms the dry, hacking cough of bronchitis.</p> <p>The Greek name for fennel was marathon was derived from "maraino", to grow thin, reflecting the widely held belief that fennel affected weight loss, a belief that was echoed by William Coles, in "Nature's Paradise"</p> <p>both the seeds, leaves, and root of Garden Fennel are much used in drinks and broths for those that are grown fat, to abate their unwieldiness and cause them to grow more gaunt and lank.</p> <p>Fennel's ancient reputation as a weight loss aid still holds up today. Drinking a cup of fennel seed tea 15 minutes before eating a heavy meal seems to take the edge off your appetite. Fennel also tunes up digestion, helping to turn food into energy instead of fat.</p> <p>Women who are going through menopause or are experiencing menstrual problems may benefit from the estrogenic properties of fennel. It has a balancing effect on the female reproductive system and increases the flow of body energy. Extracts of fennel have estrogenic properties that may benefit women going through the hormonal imbalances caused by menopause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span><strong>Sow fennel seed directly into the ground in spring when the ground is warm and thin plants to 12-18 inches. Plants can also be propagated by division in spring. Fennel prefers moist but well-drained soil with a pH between 4.8 and 8.2.</strong></span></p><script src="//cdn.public.n1ed.com/G3OMDFLT/widgets.js"></script>

<h2><strong>Mitsuba Japanese Parsley Seeds (Cryptotaenia Japonica)</strong></h2> <h2><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Price for Package of 50 (0,13 g) seeds.</strong></span></h2> <p>Cryptotaenia japonica, commonly called Japanese parsley, Japanese honeywort or mitsuba, is an herbaceous perennial with foliage that somewhat resembles a flat-leaved parsley. It is native to moist woodland areas and ditches in eastern Asia. Branching stems of ternate compound leaves (mitsuba means three leaves in Japanese) with serrated ovate segments (each to 2-4" long) typically grow in an upright clump to 12-18" tall and as wide. Small white flowers in umbels bloom in summer on stems rising about 6" above the foliage. Seeds ripen in August-September. Plants are frequently used as culinary herbs in Asian cuisine. Leaves and stems are considered to have a parsley/celery-like flavor and may be added to soups, salads or other hot/cold dishes as a flavoring and/or garnish. Roots can be blanched and sauteed.</p> <p>Forma atropurpurea plants have ruffled purple-black foliage and stems which contribute significant ornamental interest to garden areas. Umbels of light pink to purple flowers bloom above the foliage in midsummer bringing plant height to 24" tall. Leaves typically lose sharp color intensity as the summer progresses. Culinary uses are the same as for species plants. Very closely related to Cryptotaenia japonica is the North American species Cryptotaenia canadensis, which is native from Quebec to Manitoba south to Georgia and Texas. In Missouri, it is found in rocky woods, ravines, valleys and along streams and bluff ledges throughout the State (Steyermark).</p> <p>Genus name comes from the Greek word cryptos meaning hidden and tainia meaning band, ribbon or fillet in probable reference to oil tubes hidden or concealed in the fruits.</p> <p>Specific epithet means of Japan.</p> <p><strong>Problems</strong></p> <p>No serious insect or disease problems. Watch for slugs and snails.</p> <p><strong>Garden Uses</strong></p> <p>Culinary herb for herb gardens. Purple foliage has good ornamental value for rock gardens, borders or shady areas of the landscape. Containers.</p> <p><strong>Cultivation details</strong></p> <p>Succeeds in most soils, preferring a moist shady position under trees where it often self-sows. The leaves tend to turn yellow when plants are grown in full sun. This species is not winter-hardy in all areas of Britain, though plants can tolerate short periods at temperatures down to -10°c. Mitsuba is commonly cultivated as a vegetable in Japan, there are some named varieties. It is usually grown as an annual. It is closely allied to C. canadensis, and is considered to be no more than a synonym of that species by some botanists[200]. This plant is adored by slugs and snails and must be protected when small or when new growth is emerging in the spring.</p>
