{"product_id":"best-of-asian-vegetables","title":"Best of Asian Vegetables","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor home gardeners keen to explore the flavours and diversity of Asian cooking, this collection is a genuinely rewarding way to start, whether you're adding a new ingredient to a favourite stir-fry or discovering a vegetable you've never grown before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWanting to pick your own ingredients for a stir-fry straight from the garden, the Best of Asian Vegetables collection is built for exactly that. It brings together five distinctive vegetables from Asian cuisine that are still relatively uncommon in New Zealand home gardens, giving you the chance to grow something a little different alongside the usual vegetable patch favourites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe collection includes Bean Asian Yard Long, a climbing bean that produces pods far longer than the standard varieties and is excellent sliced into stir-fries. Gourd Luffa Angled Long Ridge F1 and Gourd Bitter Melon Chikana F1 both bring the climbing gourd family into the garden, one prized young and tender for cooking, the other valued for its distinctly bitter flavour that's central to many South East and East Asian dishes. Water Spinach Bamboo Leaf, also known as kangkong or ong choy, is a fast-growing leafy green that's a familiar sight in stir-fries and soups. Rounding out the collection is Moringa Horseradish Tree, a fast-growing tree valued for its edible leaves and immature seed pods, which can be cooked in much the same way as spinach and green beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTogether, these five varieties open the door to dishes and flavours you won't easily find at the supermarket, while giving your garden a productive, climbing, leafy mix that's well suited to a warm, sunny spot. Growing your own also means you can pick each vegetable at exactly the stage you want it, whether that's young and tender or fully mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBecause this collection covers such a diverse range of plants, from climbing vines to a small tree, growing conditions and timing will vary between varieties. It's worth checking the individual seed packet for each one, as sowing depth, spacing and timing differ considerably across the collection. Most of these vegetables prefer warm, frost-free conditions and reward a sunny, sheltered position with strong, productive growth over the warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur Seed Collections have been created to contain some of our most well loved varieties and to take the guesswork out of making seed selections for yourself. Also fabulous as a gift for the gardeners in your life or those new to growing. For individual growing requirements for each of the varieties that make up this Seed Collection, please refer to the specific product information given for that variety.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49207721132340,"sku":"C0572","price":22.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/C0572-W.png?v=1784780872","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/best-of-asian-vegetables","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
