Turkish Rocket (Tere) Seeds – Organic & Heirloom

 

Turkish Rocket (Bunias orientalis), also known as Tere, is a hardy perennial from the Brassicaceae family, valued for its spicy, mustard-like young leaves and edible flower buds. This vigorous, bee-friendly plant is perfect for permaculture gardens and naturalized areas, thriving even in poor soils. Its bright yellow flowers add ornamental beauty, while its shoots and leaves are delicious both raw and cooked.

 

Benefits & Uses

  • Young Leaves: Eaten raw in salads or cooked like spinach; flavor is peppery and slightly bitter, reminiscent of a mix between cabbage, radish, and broccoli.

  • Flower Buds: Consumed like small broccoli, with a pronounced, spicy taste.

  • Green Seed Pods: Can be eaten raw or cooked.

  • Pollinator-Friendly: Highly attractive to bees and other beneficial insects.

  • Hardy & Easy to Grow: Tolerates poor, compact soils and tough conditions—ideal for permaculture and low-maintenance gardens.

  • Self-Seeding: Readily reseeds itself; cut flower stalks if you wish to prevent spreading.
