From Second Generation Seeds:
While August feels so bountiful, the shortening days remind us that our perilla will start to flower soon. We want to make sure you don’t suffer from any perilla deficiency this winter, so we’ve asked our friends @koreaninstantpotcookbook to lead a virtual cook-along to help us process our kkaennip. We’ll hear and share stories about kkaennip, reflect on how they’ve grown, and prepare 깻잎장아찌 and 전. These soy brined pickles are one of my favorite ways to eat kkaennip, and jeon are essential for upcoming chuseok festivities.
Farmers in different regions are here to be your kkaennip hub, please see participating farmers below and message them to reserve your produce!
So for all of you who grew our seeds this year, come bask in some kkaennip love, make some delicious food in good company, but remember, reserve some plants as your seed saving plants, and leave enough leaves for them to keep their photosynthetic capacity high!
