Asian Greens Seeds
This article gives information on growing doomsday Asian greens seeds. It is amazing how tiny seeds germinate and grow into food, isn't it? This article gives information on how many Asian Greens plants it would take to provide a daily intake of 1200 calories for one person for one year, assuming this is all you have to eat.
Hopefully, you will have lots of vegetables along with some meats and dairy to eat. In an emergency, Asian Greens will not get you far alone. Just like arugula, Asian Greens make a nice supplement for you to enjoy with other foods.
There are about 20 calories in a cup of growing doomsday Asian greens seeds. This is just like having free calories to munch on. On a 1200 calorie daily diet, this would be 60 cups of greens. It would not be feasible to try to live on 60 cups of Asian Greens per day. Can you imagine having to eat 60 cups a day of any vegetable?
Asian Greens are a wonderful source of a lot of important nutrients such as Vitamins A, K, and C. They also include potassium, phosphorus, manganese, calcium, fiber, and iron.
It
would be best to plant a few for variety. You can store them by canning
but I do not think they would taste very good. You can sun-dry them.
Unless I have half a bottle of salad dressing to drown them in, I tend to
stay away from greens. Of course, the best way is to freeze dry them, if you have a freeze dryer. Then they will stay good up to 25 years!
I would just grow a few to eat fresh.
But whatever you do, whether it is eating them, drying them, or freeze drying them, do it within 24 hours. After this they will start
to wilt and not be as good.
If you are raising rabbits, you
can feed any type of green to them. You can also feed them to your
chickens and swine if you are lucky enough to have these animals during bad times.
Horses and cattle will also eat greens but you would have to have a lot for them.
Goats will eat them (and just about anything else). It may be feasible to have a few goats around to breed, eat, milk, or trade. If you have goats, you can have milk and cheese, not to mention meat.
Here in Poteet, Texas doomsday Asian greens seeds can be grown year round except for the hottest part of the season. They do not like the hot temperatures we have here.
Some Asian greens will continue to grow after they have been cut so they will keep producing for a long time.
Don't forget to leave some of them growing to produce seeds so you can grow more later on. Be watchful so the birds don't get them before you have a chance to.
We don't recommend trying to live off greens alone but they do help add flavor. Flavor and fiber are good but you need some more substantial food items to go with the greens.
Greens can also be grown as micro-greens. They can be harvested in about 3 to 5 days. This would do as a snack.
There is not an off color Asian greens. We recommend the Mizuna which is fast-growing, with mild flavor.Traditional brassica green of Japanese origin prized for its quick growth, productivity, mild flavor, and recognizable, serrated leaf shape.
Direct sow ¼ inch deep at 3–5 seeds per inch, in rows at least 2 inches apart from early spring into midsummer. Plant some several times for a continuous flow of Mizuna. Can be dried and eaten like kale chips. Harvest at baby size in 18 days or full size in 40 days.
Mizuna high in many nutrients and has been associated with several health benefits, including improved eye, bone and immune health, as well as improved blood clotting and a potentially reduced risk of cancer.
To collect your own Mizuna seeds, wait about a month after flowering. By then, the seed pods will have formed. While you can leave the plants and the pods to ripen in the bed, it is better to cut off the Mizuna plants right before the pods have turned completely brown. Timing is important since birds will also be on the lookout for them as well.
Get some today. Add to your doomsday packet. Practice by planting some today. Don't wait until doomsday to start learning how to grow.
You can do this. You can survive.
