Our Culinary Herb Garden contains 14 varieties of common (and not so common) kitchen herbs and spices that will compliment your existing vegetable garden. Each of our herbs were chosen for their flavor and medicinal properties. This vault makes a great companion to our Medicinal Seed Vault available separately.  Current Retail Potential: $12,300 (Value calculated as of 1/21/22) Value is an estimate based on projected yield of dried herb, fresh herb, and expected seed production. The Basil Plant: Basil, commonly used in Italian dishes, could easily be one of the most valuable plants in this vault. This high-yielding plant could fetch as much as $14/lb dried, or even more sold as fresh basil. Our Basil Seeds produce beautiful and potent heirloom plant.  Cilantro (Coriander): Cilantro seeds and dried herb are used in cooking. Aside from the great flair that Cilantro adds to many dishes, this herb has a ton of medicinal properties that you might not know of. Because of the potency of this herb, it's highly sought after as a bulk herb to be used in many different tinctures and concoctions. As a fresh herb, you could expect as much as $63/lb, whereas a dried cilantro could fetch nearly $21 per pound.  Oregano: This is an herb that you've likely already got plenty of in your spice cabinet. Aside from using Oregano in different dishes and sauces, much like Cilantro, Oregano is highly sought after as a medicinal herb and demands upwards of $15/lb to purchase bulk and dried.  Overall, the seeds contained in this vault can easily cover 3,500sq ft of condensed garden space. With such a small investment in these easy-to-grow herbs, you could not only stock your spice rack, but stock your wallet as well.  Culinary Herb Varieties Arugula - Slow Bolt - 500mg (avg 180 seeds) Basil - Genovese - 450mg (avg 265 seeds) Basil - Lemon - 265mg (avg 165 seeds) Chives - Common - 315mg (avg 115 seeds) Cilantro - Coriander - 1300mg (avg 100 seeds) Dill - Common - 250mg (avg 105 seeds) Marjoram - Sweet - 250mg (avg 1100 seeds) Mustard - Sthrn Giant - 3.8g (avg 2000 seeds) Oregano - Italian - 125mg (avg 1000 seeds) Parsley - Dk Green Italian Flat - 195mg (avg 240seeds) Pepper - Cayenne - 245mg (avg 40 seeds) Sage - Broad Leaved - 1000mg (avg 105 seeds) Savory - Summer - 1000mg (avg 1500 seeds) Thyme - Common - 200mg (avg 355 seeds) That's over 6,400 Quality Seeds Total Disclaimer: Retail Values are calculated based upon optimal expected crop output.
