Shinano No. 1 Soba (Autumn Soba) Seeds, 10g (approx. 300 seeds), Heirloom, Natural Farming, Homegrown Seeds

10g (approx. 300 seeds) of Shinano No. 1 Soba (Autumn Soba) seeds, grown naturally.

《Sowing Period》August

This variety requires 80 days from sowing to harvest, so please sow with enough time before the first frost.

It is very susceptible to waterlogging, so we recommend cultivating on raised beds or in well-drained soil.

For harvesting, cut at the base when 80-90% of the grains have turned black, and dry in the sun for several days.

After drying, thresh by rubbing or beating on a blue tarp.

For small quantities, you can thresh immediately after harvest and spread them out to dry in a sunny spot.

After threshing, use a winnowing fan or similar tool to separate the grains from the chaff by blowing away the debris.

The harvested grains should be further dried, then the husks removed with a mill or similar device (or you can leave the husks on). You can then dissolve the flour in hot water to make soba-gaki (buckwheat dumplings) or boil them to make dumplings, which is a simple and delicious way to enjoy them.

To prevent insects from hatching, we recommend storing the seeds in the refrigerator, as they may hatch if stored at room temperature.

We also carry many other varieties of heirloom and open-pollinated seeds.
