{"product_id":"edamame-vegetable-seeds-packet","title":"Edamame Vegetable Seeds Packet","description":"\u003cp\u003eEdamame seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce edamame this year. Edamame exists in a narrow window between not-quite-ready and past-its-best, which is part of its charm and most of its calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdamame is the fresh soybean that must be harvested at exactly the right moment and eaten as quickly as possible. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Grow Edamame from Seed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing and Germination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirect sow after last frost, 3-4cm deep, 15cm apart. Warm soil essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Harvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest while pods are plump and bright green. Shell and boil immediately for best flavour. 75-85 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Packaging\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/5687\/9497\/files\/SEEDAM-2.png?v=1738634573\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/5687\/9497\/files\/SEEDAM-3.png?v=1738921467\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chive Ceramics Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48371675234549,"sku":"SEEDAM","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8274\/2261\/files\/SEEDAM-1.png?v=1783358072","url":"https:\/\/nortrano.com\/products\/edamame-vegetable-seeds-packet","provider":"nortrano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
