Job's Tears Seed Packet

You are purchasing 1 seed packet of 10 organic seeds**. USES: Besides the use for ornamental purposes such as jewelry making, Job's tears grains are useful as a source of food (cereals) and folk medicine. The whole seed is used when dried and a needle run in both ends of the seed to string into a necklace or bracelet. I have personally made many rosaries with these seeds. They can even be dyed using plant dyes. The seeds will vary in color from grayish to brown color and sometimes a whitish gray. As mentioned above the seeds are edible and can be made into an oatmeal type of cereal or used to make medicinal remedies. A few seeds go a long way and as long as you keep it hydrated it will continue to grow. GERMINATION TIP: Seeds will quickly germinate once you nick (with knife, sand paper, or nail clippers) the outer shell to expose the white grain inside. Soak over night in warm water then plant in a pot or directly into the ground. You can harvest the seeds when green or when they have changed color. Plants once established are low maintenance and will produce lots of seeds. **Please Note** not all seeds maybe uniform in size and can vary. Do not discount the size of the seed as they are fresh and viable regardless. Each seed packet is checked for seed count prior to shipping out and for this reason we ship seed packets in clear packets so you the buyer can see the amount prior to opening the packet. If you have an issue with seed count do not open the packet. Instead contact us with a photo of the unopen packet for correction. Once open we will not send replacements.
