About the producer - Seeds for Africa and Sandveld Organics have entered into an exclusive strategic partnership to offer a large range of South African grown certified organic seeds. Sandveld Organics are an organic farm in Lamberts Bay on the Cape West Coast.

Sandveld Organics are the ONLY South African company growing certified organic seed.

Not to be mistaken with wild rocket which Seeds for Africa also stock, it is used as a leaf vegetable, which looks like a longer leaved and open lettuce. It is rich in vitamin C and potassium. It is frequently cultivated, although domestication cannot be considered complete. It has been grown in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, and is considered an aphrodisiac. Before the 1990s it was usually collected in the wild and was not cultivated on a large scale or researched scientifically. In addition to the leaves, the flowers (often used in salads as an edible garnish), young seed pods and mature seeds are all edible. It is now cultivated in various places, especially in Veneto, Italy, but is available throughout the world. It is also locally naturalised away from its native range in temperate regions around the world, including northern Europe and North America. It has a rich, peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavour for a leafy green. It is generally used in salads, often mixed with other greens in a mesclun, but is also cooked as a vegetable or used raw with pasta or meats in northern Italy. The perfect garnish for the popular Carpaccio dish. This herb is easy to grow and prolific.

Harvesting as early as 5 weeks after planting, this salad favourite has a mustardy, peppery sweet taste. Best results are obtained with lots of sun in the spring to summer months.

Diplotaxis erucoides is an annual herb growing to 0.5 m . The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. Leaves are edible and used raw or cooked. A mustard-like flavour very different from Sweet Rocket. They can be added to salads for a wild and rustic flavour.
