Big Leaf Tong Ho has been grown across China for centuries, prized for its broad, tender leaves and its ability to carry rich, savory flavor into everyday cooking. In the U.S., it became known as “Chop Suey greens,” a name tied to early Chinese-American kitchens where it helped shape a whole style of cooking. The leaves are thick, juicy, and deeply satisfying—perfect for stir-fries, soups, and broths—while the large edible flowers, reaching up to 3 inches across, are considered a true delicacy. They can be dipped in tempura, scattered over salads, or steeped into traditional chrysanthemum tea. As the plant matures, the leaves grow smaller but never lose their flavor, sending up tall flowering stalks that make it just as beautiful as it is useful. It’s a plant that bridges garden and kitchen, carrying real cultural history in every bite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511654252830,"sku":"OR164","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/ChrysanthemumBigLeafTongHo.jpg?v=1792428694"},{"product_id":"chrysanthemum-seeds-otafuku","title":"Chrysanthemum Seeds, Otafuku","description":"\u003cp\u003eOtafuku carries both flavor and story in equal measure. This edible chrysanthemum traces its roots back to ancient China, where it was once reserved for noble gardens, before becoming a beloved seasonal green in Japan known as Shungiku. The leaves and flowers offer a distinctive citrusy, lightly grassy flavor that brightens soups, hot pots, pickles, and stir-fries with a freshness that feels almost uplifting. In mild climates, it produces both spring and fall crops, giving steady harvests when many greens are either just starting or winding down. Beyond the kitchen, it carries a thread of folklore—Otafuku is a smiling figure in Japanese tradition, a symbol of joy, good fortune, and abundance. Growing it feels like inviting a little of that spirit into the garden: something nourishing, cheerful, and deeply rooted in history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511939432734,"sku":"OR182","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/chrysanthemum_otafuku.jpg?v=1782408593"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/collections\/daisy-broad-leaf-crown-daisy-or-broad-leaf-shungiku-edible-chrysanthemum-jamie-lss-dsc_3792_1.jpg?v=1783528113","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/collections\/chrysanthemum-seeds.oembed","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
