Sumac seeds for sale

Rhus coriaria, commonly called Sicilian sumac, tanner's sumach,  or elm-leaved sumach, is a deciduous shrub to small tree in the  Anacardiaceae or cashew family, native to southern Europe.

Plant : Elm-Leaved Sumach
Latin name: Rhus coriaria
Family: Anacardiaceae (Cashew Family, Sumac Family)

Medicinal use of Elm-Leaved Sumach: The leaves and the seeds are astringent, diuretic, styptic and tonic. They are used in the treatment of dysentery, haemoptysis and conjunctivitis. The seeds are eaten before a meal in order to provoke an appetite. Some caution is advised in the use of the leaves and stems of this plant, see the notes above on toxicity.
Rhus coriaria

Description of the plant: Plant: Deciduous Shrub Height: 3 m (9 3/4 foot)
Flowering: July to August Habitat of the herb: Rocky places and waysides, mainly on limestone.

Edible parts of Elm-Leaved Sumach: The immature fruits are used as caper substitutes. Some caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity. The crushed fruit, mixed with Origanum syriacum, is a principal ingredient of "Zatar", a popular spice mixture used in the Middle East. The seed is used as an appetizer in a similar manner to mustard.

Other uses of the plant : The leaves and bark are rich in tannin. The leaves can be collected as they fall in the autumn and used as a brown dye or as a mordant. The fruit and bark are also used. The leaves contain 20 - 35% tannin and yield a yellow dye. The finely ground leaves and stems provide the dyeing and tanning agent "sumac". The shoots are cut down annually, near to the root, for this purpose. A fawn colour, bordering on green, is obtained and this can be improved with the judicious use of mordants. The cultivar "Mesculino" is very rich in tannin, containing up to 35%. An oil is extracted from the seeds. It attains a tallow-like consistency on standing and is used to make candles. These burn brilliantly, though they emit a pungent smoke. A black dye is obtained from the fruit. A yellow and a red dye are obtained from the bark.

Propagation of Elm-Leaved Sumach: Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe. Pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in hot water (starting at a temperature of 80 - 90c and allowing it to cool) prior to sowing in order to leach out any germination inhibitors. The stored seed also needs hot water treatment and can be sown in early spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first winter.
Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 10cm with a heel, July/August in a frame. Root cuttings 4cm long taken in December and potted up vertically in a greenhouse. Good percentage. Suckers in late autumn to winter.

Cultivation of the herb: Rocky places and waysides, mainly on limestone.

The dried fruits are used as a spice, particularly in  combination with other spices in the mixture called za'atar.

Lycium ruthenicum- Black Goji berry seed from Kashmir

Also commonly known as black fruit wolfberry
goji nero, siyah goji, kaokee, თეთრეკალა,
 (Tibetan name) “next to Mary”, is a species
of flowering plant in the nightshade family
which can be found in Central Asia, southern
part of Russia, throughout Northwest China,
Kashmir, Afghanistan and  Pakistan.

The black goji berry is very rarely found in Western
cuisine but has long been celebrated in the
Himalayan region as a powerful medicinal
and health food. The black goji is known to
be more healthful and potent than the more
widely known red goji, and we find the flavor
sweeter. The tasty, inky black berries are
exceptionally high in antioxidants and are said
to boost the immune system and improve
circulation. Thanks to their ability to fight free
radicals, they have been hailed as a food to
promote healthy, graceful aging. The potent
berries create an outstanding blue color when
steeped or added to foods. These tasty berries
are quickly becoming a popular super fruit
added to smoothies and brewed into tea. The
dried berries are great in granola and muffins
or snacked on alone; you can also eat the berries
fresh off the plant. Steep the berries into a
beautiful blue tea; adding a few drops of lemon
will turn the tea a lovely purple/pink color.
Gardeners will be pleased to know this exciting
berry is highly prolific and easy to grow! Plants
thrive in zones 5-10. It grows as a shrub reaching
4-6 feet in height, and the plants are self
fertile. The fruit ripens from summer through
early fall.
