Heirloom Vegetable, Herb & Flower Seeds

In the American Southwest, only one plant was deliberately planted and selectively bred over long periods of time for basketmaking; Devil’s claw. The black fibers from the “claws” are unmatched for durability in hand-made baskets. Skilled craftsmen can weave a basket from devil’s claw that is water tight and will last over 30 years in daily use.

The leaves are broad and oval-triangular from 2 - 6 inches wide. Flowers are in groups of 4 - 10 and range from white to pink. Throats are mottled purple with usually two lines of purplish spots, with yellow necter guides. The plants from the desert have white seeds with claws that are greater than 7" long.

The flowers are pollinator attractants and the plants are highly heat tolerant, prividing shade for lower growing varieties with their broad leaves. The young pods are cooked or pickled much like okra. The seeds, or kernals, are oil and protein-rich and make a healthy snack.

It grows well in higher altitudes where corn and rice won't. Hulled and cracked or ground into flour it used as a cereal or in breads. It is also hulled, roasted and eaten like peanuts. The Chinese still use the hulled grain like barley in soups and broths. The grains have been used to ferment ancient beers, and aged vinegar in Japan.

The grass grows from 3 - 6 feet tall, higher in more temperate climates. Can be perennial in the absence of heavier frosts. Crops usually harvested 4 - 5 months after planting by cutting plants at base and threshing seeds out, then hulling.
