Vegetables & herbs from medieval times

This seed kit brings together nine historic vegetable and herb varieties that were grown in medieval monastery and cottage gardens. They bring stories with them: of age-old growing traditions, of healing, cooking and self-sufficiency. Now you can rediscover a piece of gardening history for yourself – and bring the past to life in your own garden or raised bed.

Nine historic varieties

Caraway (Carum carvi) – aromatic umbellifer spice used in bread, cheese and healing preparations for hundreds of years.
Parsley 'Half-length' (Pastinaca sativa) – familiar root vegetable with a mild, sweet flavour, a staple foodstuff in the Middle Ages.
Monk’s pepper (Vitex agnus-castus) – traditionally valued as a healing plant, with peppery-aromatic fruits.
Einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum) – one of the oldest cereals, the basis of many dishes going back to classical and medieval times.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) – spicy herb and healing plant, used in many ways in cooking and medicinally.
Rhubarb chard 'Vulkan' (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) – colourful leaf vegetable with red stems, traditionally used as a spinach substitute.
Rue (Ruta graveolens) – distinctive healing and culinary plant with an intense fragrance, formerly widespread in monastery gardens.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) – refreshing herb, beloved as a healing plant and for herbal teas.
Black mustard (Brassica nigra) – traditional spice and oilseed plant, the basis for hot mustards.
