About Herb Seed Pencil
The Herb Seed Pencil contains selected herb seeds embedded in a capsule in it’s tip. Herbs possess aromatic and/or savory properties used for medical, fragrant, flavoring and garnishing purposes. Most popularity used in the culinary field, herbs are distinguished from spices as being the leafy green or flowing parts of plants. Spices are generally produced from drying out of the seeds, fruit, bark or roots of the plant.
Even though some herbs grow annually, some even take two years to grow and are know as biennials. After each growing season the herb plant dies back into the ground. Luckily, because they are know as seed-bearing plants, their seeds allow for the germination of the next growing season. Other herbs like lavender, sage and rosemary are more shrub like herbs and do not die out every year. All herbs were classified by a woody stem, which posed the problem that it included a lot of fauna. Fauna were then divided into 3 parts – trees, shrubs and herbs. Herbs were placed into 3 further groups – sweet herbs (thyme), salad herbs (celery) and pot herbs (onions). Pot herbs later changed to vegetables
