The highest quality Caraway seeds bring one of the world's oldest medicinal spices into your home garden. When it comes to traditional healing, Caraway is the "Gut Guardian." This heirloom is famous for its pungent, anise-like aroma and its legendary ability to ease digestion and support metabolic health. At The Seed Guy, we believe we aren't just selling seeds; we are planting a link to the ancient spice markets, the earthy soul of traditional European baking, and the "Healthy Vibe" of a well-balanced lifestyle.
In the garden, Caraway is a "Patient Producer." This variety is the premier choice for anyone who wants to "get your wellness on"βoffering feathery leaves in the first year and a bounty of medicinal seeds in the second. Just visualize the warm, spicy crunch of a homemade loaf of rye bread fresh from the oven; that is the reward of the Caraway harvest. It is a fantastic culinary herb that adds a sophisticated "Zing" to sauerkraut, soups, and cheeses while working behind the scenes to keep your digestive system running smoothly. At The Seed Guy, our seeds are tested for elite germination, ensuring you get hardy, productive plants that deliver a "Prize-Winning" spice to your pantry.

Caraway Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Direct sow in early spring or late autumn. Caraway loves a cool start to establish its roots.
2. Preparation: Prefers well-drained, sandy soil and full sun. Avoid areas where water pools, as the roots can be sensitive to "wet feet."
3. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Be patient, as Caraway can be a slow germinator.
4. Care: In the first year, it will look like a clump of carrot-like leaves. In the second year, it will shoot up a flower stalk and produce those famous seeds.
5. Pests and Diseases: Generally very resilient. Harvest the seeds when they turn a deep brown and dry them thoroughly for long-term storage.
