This is a set of 10 wild carrot (shaku, ko-shaku) plants, grown wild in our mountain.

★ They have now grown to about 50 cm tall and are in full bloom! Therefore, we will send them with the stems cut short as shown in Image 1, so please understand.

This is a hardy wild vegetable that prefers relatively moist soil, making it suitable for home gardens.

The roots are delicious when pickled in miso.
The young leaves and flower buds can be picked and eaten, and like bracken or nyosaku, they can be preserved by salting. They also go well with kenchin-jiru (a type of vegetable soup)!

Although the leaves don't have a strong aroma when eaten raw, they develop a unique aroma characteristic of the parsley family when boiled, which is interesting. It's a Japanese herb.

They bloom with cute white flowers ?

The standard way to eat them is to blanch them briefly, rinse them in cold water to remove bitterness, and serve as ohitashi (blanched vegetables with seasoning). They also pair well with seaweed, making them a great topping for soba or udon noodles, or as a condiment. They are also delicious mixed with spicy mentaiko (spicy pollock roe).

We will harvest and ship after receiving your order.
