{"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","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/chrysanthemum-seeds-otafuku","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
