Key item features

We have found a new germination method that has brought our germination rate close to 90% again. After much experimentation we now use a "live" soil that is very moist. The mix is 50% seeds, 50% soil then right to warmth. The idea is to make good soil contact with the hilum "the eyes". The quickest seed will germinate in 7 days, majority weeks later. Zip-lock bags work for smaller amounts. Check container every 2 days after the initial 7 days.
Roasted Nuts
Place nuts in pan cover with salt water mixture and bring to a boil. Once boiling, continue to boil for 8 minutes. When the 8 minutes is up remove nuts from water, pat dry and place in a pre-heated 350 degrees oven for 8 minutes. After roasting for 8 minutes remove and shell the nuts and put the nutmeat (kernel) in one cup water mixed with a teaspoon of liquid smoke. Soak for 5 minutes remove nuts from solution and toss in salt if desired.

About this item

Product details

During years of growth and working with this tree we discovered that it offers a multitude of cooking and medicinal possibilities. The seeds of Xanthoceras Sorbifolium are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and are used to prepare cooking oil. The leaves can also be used as tea (its protein content is higher than that of black tea), and the caffeine is similar to that of flower tea. Xanthoceras Sorbifolium can also be used in cosmetics and to make biodiesel. Other properties of this plant include cold tolerance, soil resistance, and high seed oil content.
