Fennel seeds for the kitchen garden that intends to actually produce fennel this year. Fennel is the vegetable in which no component is wasted, which makes it either very efficient or very demanding depending on the cook. Fennel is an anise-flavoured vegetable with an edible bulb, edible fronds, and edible seeds -- no part of the fennel lacks purpose. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.
