This chive is known for its strong, upright growth and its medium-strong, taut stalks. The dark green leaves have an intense chive flavor. Its aroma keeps many known pests away from strawberries and tomatoes. Roses also benefit from its close proximity. The many health benefits are also evident in its healing effects; it has antibacterial properties, lowers blood pressure and aids digestion.

The variety was first described and introduced internationally in 1976 and has since become one of the best‑known mini squashes worldwide. The name “Sweet Dumpling” combines “Sweet” for its distinctly sweet, nutty flavour and “Dumpling” for the small, round‑ribbed, dumpling‑like shape of the fruits. The variety is aromatic, early‑maturing and features an edible skin and characteristic striping.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a representative of \u003cem\u003eCucurbita pepo\u003c\/em\u003e, ‘Sweet Dumpling’ belongs to the large group of North American domesticated squashes, whose origins lie in North and Central America.

In traditional use of \u003cem\u003eCucurbita\u003c\/em\u003e varieties, the fruits were valued for their easy digestibility, while the seeds – rich in natural oils and valuable nutrients – have long been used in folk medicine to support urinary and prostate health, qualities also appreciated in ‘Sweet Dumpling’ and underscoring its culinary and nutritional significance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are annual, develop vigorous, semi‑vining to creeping shoots and spread 120–200 cm across the ground.

The variety belongs to the traditional landraces that were cultivated and passed down over many generations in the foothill region west of Cologne.

Despite the later rise of modern hybrid varieties, it remained preserved in its region of origin and continued to be grown because it is reliable, aromatic and seed‑true. Today, ‘Vorgebirgstrauben’ is considered a historic German cucumber variety whose regional significance, genetic stability and characteristic flavour have been maintained into the present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are annual, develop vigorous vining shoots and reach about 200–250 cm when grown on supports, or they grow creeping along the ground.

Historically, the variety was preserved in vinegar, brine or mustard and served as a side dish. It remains crisp and aromatic when pickled. It is also suitable for salads, sandwiches, cold platters and raw dishes. Finely sliced, it serves as a base for tzatziki, cucumber salad, relishes and pickled accompaniments. The fruits can be fermented, pickled sweet‑and‑sour or used as a mild component in pickles and mixed pickles. They are also well suited for cold soups such as chilled cucumber soup, as a fresh component in bowls, for light summer dishes or finely diced in dips and sauces.

The variety matures early, produces a continuous abundance of small, well‑shaped fruits and shows high tolerance to fluctuating weather conditions. It develops stable fruits even in cooler summers and benefits from nutrient‑rich, humus soils. Thanks to its strong root system, it remains comparatively resilient, while the uniform fruit development supports continuous harvesting. The variety produces both male and female flowers, shows good leaf health and is well suited for organic cultivation and companion planting. It copes better with temporary dryness than many modern cucumber types, shows stable fruit set even under temperature fluctuations and convinces with its natural resilience to typical cucumber stress factors.

It arose through local farmer selection in the Sarzana area and forms part of the historical Mediterranean garden culture of the 20th century. The variety is notably tender, early and aromatic, and was highly valued in Ligurian households for its fine, young fruits. It belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae, subfamily Cucurbitoideae, genus \u003cem\u003eCucurbita\u003c\/em\u003e, species \u003cem\u003eC. pepo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe earliest documented written reference to this historical variety appears in an Italian horticultural directory from the early 1950s. However, oral traditions from Liguria suggest that the type was already cultivated in family gardens before the Second World War, without a fixed varietal name being recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a compact, reliably productive fine zucchini, ‘Alberello di Sarzana’ quickly established itself in Italian home gardens and later in European and North American conservation collections. Its seed‑true nature, natural robustness and dependable fruit set make it a popular choice for traditional and organic growing systems to this day. In Ligurian summer cuisine, the young 15–20 cm fruits were considered especially digestible and were used for light vegetable dishes, pan preparations and fresh summer fare. The variety endured for decades because it convinces with flavour, is easy to grow and delivers consistently high yields even in smaller gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants are annual, grow compact, bushy and reach a diameter of 80–120 cm.

The name “Kuri” – Japanese for “chestnut” – refers to the characteristic flavour that has long defined this group of varieties. In Japan, the variety is traditionally known under the historical name “Uchiki Kuri”, which is still used today as the original designation for this aromatic Hokkaido type. It belongs to the classic Hokkaido types (\u003cem\u003eCucurbita maxima\u003c\/em\u003e) within the family Cucurbitaceae, subfamily Cucurbitoideae and the genus \u003cem\u003eCucurbita\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe variety first appeared publicly in 1957, when a new Hokkaido type with bright orange skin, teardrop shape and a distinctly chestnut‑like aroma was described in Japan. From the 1970s onward, ‘Red Kuri’ spread internationally and quickly became one of the most popular culinary squashes in North America and Central Europe. Publications from Japan, the USA and Europe in the 1980s highlight its high yield stability, strong adaptability to different soils and its particularly aromatic, fine‑textured flesh. The variety gained early recognition for its edible skin, creamy texture and nutty‑chestnut‑like flavour – qualities that made it a staple of modern autumn and winter cuisine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs an open‑pollinated variety, ‘Red Kuri’ combines traditional Japanese selection with modern practicality: robust plants, reliable fruit set, unique flavour and remarkable storability.

Its creamy, nutty‑chestnut‑like flesh is ideal for soups, curries, purées, baked dishes, gnocchi, pastries, fillings, desserts and both savoury and sweet preparations. The edible skin makes processing significantly easier. Thanks to its good storability, it remains aromatic and firm for many weeks. It is also well suited for fermentation, pickling, drying and freezing. In addition, ‘Red Kuri’ can be turned into aromatic spreads, creamy dips, refined pasta sauces and hearty vegetable roasts. Its fine‑textured flesh is equally suitable for risotto, rösti, quiches, tarts, pan dishes and warming stews. In sweet cuisine, it enriches cakes, muffins, puddings, ice cream and aromatic jams. Even in smoothies, juices or as a base for plant “milk”, it provides natural sweetness and a velvety texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe variety is robust, warm‑loving and delivers high, uniform yields in sunny open‑field conditions. ‘Red Kuri’ shows good tolerance to heat and variable summers, sets fruit reliably and benefits from humus‑rich, well‑drained soils. The plants are vigorous, strongly vining and well suited to organic cultivation systems, mixed cropping and self‑sufficiency. With their strong root development, they use soil moisture efficiently, respond positively to organic soil improvement and show remarkable yield stability even during dry periods.

It was developed within modern breeding programs that specifically selected varieties for summer cultivation - with a particular focus on bolt resistance, heat tolerance, and uniform head formation. As such, it belongs to the modern iceberg lettuce selections created as alternatives to hybrid varieties, distinguished by their robustness and open‑pollinated reproducibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Saladin’ is part of a European advancement and is considered a proven variety with a long harvest window. It was deliberately introduced as an alternative to the increasingly widespread hybrid cultivars. Its particular strength lies in its ability to form stable heads even under high temperatures, making it a reliable variety for summer cultivation, even in subtropical climates. To this day, ‘Saladin’ is maintained and passed on by ecological seed initiatives. It stands as an exemplar of the importance of freely accessible, non‑patented cultivated varieties in vegetable production and symbolizes the preservation of genetic diversity in open‑pollinated lettuces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows compactly in a rosette form and reaches a height of about 20-30 cm.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Cuor di Bue’ is a traditional, open‑pollinated beefsteak tomato dating back to the late 19th century. Although the variety originated in Russia, its early international spread closely linked it to northern Italian horticultural and culinary traditions. It has been widely grown for many decades in regions such as Liguria and Piedmont, where it is considered a classic salad tomato. Botanically, it belongs to the family Solanaceae, subfamily Solanoideae, genus \u003cem\u003eSolanum\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name “oxheart” refers to the pronounced heart shape of its large fruits, which in Italy is regarded as a defining characteristic of the variety. ‘Cuor di Bue’ was maintained and passed on through long‑term farmer selection. It is an old, open‑pollinated variety with fleshy fruits, few seeds, and a mild‑sweet flavour. Over the course of the 20th century, it became a staple of the Italian summer kitchen and developed into a symbol of historic, large‑fruited oxheart tomatoes with dense, juicy texture and balanced aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo this day, ‘Cuor di Bue’ is favoured in organic and traditional cultivation and is considered one of Italy’s best‑known historic beefsteak tomatoes.

By the mid‑20th century the variety had already spread and became known for its ability to form stable heads even under high temperatures, without bolting prematurely. The breeding goal was a broad‑leaved, open Batavia type with a light‑green heart and reddish‑tinted outer leaves, combining a mild‑sweet flavor with robust growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Spain, Maravilla de Verano quickly established itself as a preferred choice for summer and autumn production. From there it spread to France and Italy, where Batavia lettuces have long been appreciated, and the variety found its place in both commercial and home gardening. Its capacity to remain in the field for extended periods without losing quality gave it an exceptionally long harvest window. Maravilla de Verano is regarded as one of the classic Batavia varieties, bridging the transition from regional selections to a widely cultivated European type. To this day it serves as a historic reference variety for heat‑tolerant Batavia lettuce and has secured a lasting position among traditional lettuce cultivars thanks to its open‑pollinated nature and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows in a rosette form and reaches a height of about 25 cm.

It originated through peasant selection and was preserved as a decorative, bolt‑resistant Romaine lettuce with its characteristic speckling. The name “Forellenschluss” refers to the reddish‑brown spots on the leaves, reminiscent of a trout’s markings.

In modern cuisine they are used in smoothies and green juices, while traditionally they were valued as a vitamin‑rich addition to soups or stews. Even in creative cooking, the leaves can be used as edible decoration for cold platters or appetizers, offering both flavor and visual appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its upright growth and bolting resistance, 'Forellenschluss' thrives reliably in open field, greenhouse, and even container cultivation. It forms uniform heads, is easy to care for, and delivers stable yields over a long period. The variety is suitable for spring and autumn cultivation, can be harvested multiple times, and thus extends the harvest season into late autumn. It shows remarkable adaptability to different soil types and climatic conditions, making it reliable even in regions with variable weather. Its good heat tolerance makes it less prone to premature bolting in subtropical summers. At the same time, it has a certain cold tolerance, ensuring stable results in early spring sowings or late autumn plantings. Even under denser planting in baby‑leaf production it remains vigorous and productive, making it an ideal choice for self‑sufficiency gardens and organic cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other Romaine lettuce varieties, 'Forellenschluss' is especially decorative due to its speckling and at the same time robust – an

Radicchio grows upright in rosettes and has deep red and heart-shaped leaves that twist around each other to form a tight, round to high oval head. The taste is sharp and slightly bitter, which decreases when heated. Small rosettes can be harvested early. Radicchio is only partially hardy; the rosette-forming variety can stay in the bed over the winter and sprout again in the spring, making it one of the first fresh leaf vegetables in the garden.

Its origins lie in the Central European region near the Mediterranean, where chard has been cultivated since antiquity and valued as a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable. The variety emerged as an intermediate form between leaf and stalk chard, selected to produce a robust plant with broad, creamy-white stalks, strongly ruffled leaves, and uniform growth. The name refers to the Roman general and gourmet Lucius Licinius Lucullus, renowned for culinary diversity and enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Lucullus’ is considered especially hardy and winter-resistant, setting it apart from other chard varieties. Its introduction in the early decades of the 20th century marked an important step in the development of chard.

Fennel is originally native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. The Romans' campaign of conquest brought this plant through Central Europe to the north of the continent. Bulb fennel has been an integral part of Mediterranean cuisine since the 19th century and is considered a historical and cultural heritage of the people of Europe. Later, the versatile vegetable was used as a medicinal herb in monastery gardens. The fast-growing variety forms round to high-round and bulbous white bulbs. The tender and juicy bulbs have a crispy structure. The taste is mildly spicy to sweet and reminiscent of a mixture of anise and liquorice. Bolt-resistant and ideal for raw food.

In modern cuisine, they are featured in bowls, wraps, and sandwiches, while traditionally valued as a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable in Asian cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its rapid growth and adaptability, 'Magenta Spreen' thrives reliably in open ground and raised beds. The variety matures early and produces a continuous supply of new leaves. It is easy to grow, flourishes in nutrient-rich, loose soils, and delivers stable yields even in summer heat. Particularly notable are its spectacular coloration, which adds a decorative highlight to the vegetable garden, and its impressive height, providing shade for smaller plants. Moreover, it shows strong heat tolerance, can be harvested multiple times, and often reestablishes itself year after year through self-seeding.

Originally, it was widespread in the Alps, the Pyrenees, and the low mountain ranges of Central Europe, where it grew on nitrogen-rich soils near villages and pastures. Already in the Middle Ages it was valued as both a vegetable and a medicinal plant, appearing in herbals of the 15th and 16th centuries as an important food source. Its leaves were regarded as a vitamin-rich addition to winter diets, while the young shoots and flower clusters were prepared as vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUp until the 17th century, Good King Henry was common in cottage gardens and cultivated as “poor man’s spinach,” since it reliably sprouted every spring and could be harvested for many years. With the rise of annual cultivated spinach (\u003cem\u003eSpinacia oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e), however, it lost importance and was increasingly displaced. In rural regions it survived as a traditional plant, passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is distinguished by its perennial growth and exceptional hardiness, setting it apart from modern spinach varieties.

The species is distributed worldwide, with origins in the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. As early as antiquity, purslane was valued both as a vegetable and medicinal plant; Hippocrates mentioned it as a remedy, and it was also appreciated in Egypt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe variety \u003cem\u003esativa\u003c\/em\u003e was selected for larger, fleshier leaves and a milder flavor. From the Mediterranean area, Garden Purslane spread during the Middle Ages into Central Europe, where it was grown in monastery gardens. Especially in France, Italy, and Spain, it has remained a popular leafy vegetable to this day. With European settlers, it reached America and Australia, establishing itself both as a cultivated plant and as a naturalized companion species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the 19th century, the variety \u003cem\u003esativa\u003c\/em\u003e was described in botanical works such as the \u003cem\u003eProdromus\u003c\/em\u003e by A. P. de Candolle. In the 20th century, Garden Purslane largely fell into obscurity in Central Europe, but today it is experiencing a renaissance – not only because of its flavor, but also due to its high content of alpha-linolenic acid (omega‑3 fatty acids), vitamin C, vitamin A, and minerals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant is a succulent, with prostrate to ascending stems that are often reddish in color.

In traditional medicine it was also used as a healing plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed forms of orach were distinguished early as special varieties. They were considered an ornament in cottage gardens and, thanks to their milder taste, were eaten raw—unlike other red orachs, which were often bitter.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Di Sicilia Violetto’ is an open‑pollinated cauliflower variety from Sicily, particularly from the coastal regions around Catania, Siracusa, and Ragusa. As a traditional landrace, it was maintained over many generations within small‑scale farming communities. Written references to this variety appear only from the 19th century onward, yet the traditional lineage of coloured cauliflower types extends much further back. Botanically, it belongs to the family Brassicaceae, subfamily Brassicoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eBrassica\u003c\/em\u003e within the species \u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ebotrytis\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Di Sicilia Violetto’ is known for its deep purple, compact heads, which were widespread in southern Italy before white standard varieties became dominant. The purple colour remains when raw and turns a vibrant green when cooked. After the main head is harvested, the plants often produce additional side shoots. Thanks to its robustness, flavour, and regional significance, the variety persisted despite the rise of modern cultivars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, ‘Di Sicilia Violetto’ is considered one of the historic Sicilian cauliflower varieties whose genetic stability, distinctive colouring, and culinary tradition have ensured its continued cultivation and preservation.

It is also excellent for roasted vegetables, gratins, soups, creamy soups, and purées, as its firm curds remain stable during cooking. Finely divided, it serves as a base for fritters, fillings, spreads, and vegetarian Bolognese. Its mild, nutty flavour makes it highly versatile – from Mediterranean skillet dishes to curries and even pan‑seared steaks made from thick florets.

There, mustard greens have been cultivated for centuries both as an oil plant (mustard oil from the seeds) and as a leafy vegetable, forming a central part of Asian food culture. The species Brassica juncea belongs to the family Brassicaceae and is closely related to other Asian brassicas such as Mizuna, Tatsoi, or Pak Choi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety Moutarde Rouge Metis itself was developed as a targeted selection in France in the late 20th century (1980s). It was introduced to the European market with the aim of creating a decorative, open-pollinated mustard green variety with a medium-spicy, aromatic flavor. Thus, it is based on the traditional plant form of mustard greens but represents a modern advancement with a special focus on appearance and taste. Today, Moutarde Rouge Metis is maintained, propagated, and preserved as a freely accessible, open-pollinated variety by organic seed initiatives. It is considered a valuable addition to the diversity of Asian greens and contributes to safeguarding the genetic breadth of Brassica juncea in organic vegetable cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright and reaches a height of about 50 cm.

Selected for its resilience, aromatic flavor, and good storability, it became a reliable food source. In the post-war decades, however, it partly fell into obscurity as modern hybrid varieties dominated the market and displaced open-pollinated lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, ‘Granat’ is considered one of the oldest documented Chinese cabbage varieties in Europe.

Thanks to their balanced flavour, they are highly versatile – from fresh snacks and light puréed cucumber dishes to summer drinks, cucumber water, smoothies and finely diced components in salsas or herb‑cucumber infusions.

In the following years, the variety increasingly entered European gardening literature and was listed in international seed archives, where it quickly established itself as a stable, seed‑true alternative to the dominant hybrids.

Thanks to their slender shape, they fit perfectly into bowls, sandwiches, dips, relishes and decorative slices. In summer drinks, cucumber water, smoothies or finely diced in salsas and herb‑cucumber mixes, the variety shows its fresh, clean character.
