Amaranth is a jack of all trades of the plant world. When the plant is still young, the leaves can be eaten just like spinach. The seeds can be used like cereals, raw, roasted, sprouted, or even to make flour. Amaranth is rich in vitamins A, B, and C, and in calcium, iron, and magnesium. But we especially like how its tall stance and bright red color decorate our garden.
Package: 200 seeds

Sesame has been grown for ages, so much that we cannot find its wild ancestor anymore.
Archaeological digs did however find that sesame seeds and oil were part of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 5,000 years ago, and of the Indian one, 7,500 years ago.
Black sesame seeds are rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, and calcium. They are also full of antioxidants. Black sesame is much less common than white sesame, so please sow it and save some seeds! You'll still be able to eat most of them... toasted in a skillet, delicious!

Broomcorn is grown mainly in Africa and Asia for its edible grains, as a cereal. This variety grows shiny grains of varied hues, going from beiges to browns, reds, and blacks, making it a great plant for ornamental purposes. On top of that, once the grains have been harvested, the remaining stems can be combined to form a compostable broom.
Variety obtained from Balais de Sorcière.

Camelina, also known under many other names such as gold-of-pleasure or false flax, was once grown to feed both humans and animals in Europe. This herbaceous annual has actually been used to produce fodder and oil for over 3000 years. It can also be used as green manure.
More and more, camelina is regaining popularity for various reasons. The oil produced from its seeds is rich in omega-3, making it a favorite in health stores. Its yellow flowers are great for pollinators. Its strong taproot is very helpful for working compacted soils.
On top of it all, you can use it to make a biodegradable broom!

This rare corn variety was shared with us by Steve McCumber, founder of the Haudenosaunee seed saving group. It comes from the Winnebago nation, who has been cultivating it for generations on their land, now known to most as Wisconsin and Illinois.
The Winnebago corn is a flour variety. The kernels are creamy white, sprinkloed with blue spots. You can try to eat it fresh if you wish, but the taste won't be as sweet and the texture will be more fibrous than the corn cobs you usually find at summer corn stalls. It will however be best used to cook cornbreads, polenta or hominy.
Ancient and rare variety, please share!
