Chin Baung (Burmese Roselle Leaf) seeds are now available at www.trueloveseeds.com! This is the special variety of roselle that is grown for its sour leaf and used in Burmese cooking for Chin Baung Kyaw, or fried sour leaf. Our friends at Novick Urban Farm in South Philadelphia are refugees and immigrants from the Karen state in the mountains of Burma/Myanmar, and they grow this variety now each year for their special dishes. After first trying to substitute spinach, and then trying various types of roselle leaves, finally, they found just the right one, which originated in their homeland. They shared this seed with us, and we sent it to our friends at Frog Song Organics in Florida who were able to regenerate the seed in their extra long growing season. Shown here is my friend Naw Doh showing off the Chin Baung patch at @novickurbanfarm. @frogsongcsa #seedkeeping #chinbaungkyaw #chinbaung #sourleaf #roselle #roselleleaves #hibiscussabdariffa (at Novick Urban Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-t_M6gGpt/?igshid=1qy05bnjr7ax4
