Hy everyone im new here
I probably have above average sense of Taste. Because i have 3 Times gotten an old Strain that left me mega impressed.
One time i ate an old long-green-Bean Variety. Dude made me feel like in a Mothers belly, sweet and round notes were present non the less. Even i ate it pure it was the best meal i had in my life.
Another Time i drunk Ethipian Wildcoffe (yes i know we talk about Domesticates wich are manmade , not wild, but it tasted so good) , i was filled with Luckhormones from all the beauty of nuances in its smell and Taste. Insanely good.
The third is a forbidden plant so i dont talk about it.
Do you understand where im going ? There are old Landraces that are just on another level, and i have to say i also had many pretty pointless tasting Landraces.
So just name me some Landrace / Heirlooms that i can dig trough in Seedbanks, that you think reach THAT level. It must not be super homogene, but some Phenos should be good. As i am anyway interested in eventually do a small preservation.
Yeald is really less important but i preffere stuff that might even have a Future in beeing relased in the Massarket, wich is utopical, i know, but i want to preserve seeds that might endure the times you know. plus good resitencys. thank you for tips ??? ;D
I mean Foodplants. Beans, roots, vegetables, you name it. Im from mid Europe
man , :)
Some green when ripe tomatoes are pretty tasty. I think Craig LeHoullier said good things about Green Giant itself and as a source of good flavor when they crossed with it.

Hi Romano,
This forum has contributors from all over the World. .. Some clues about where you are, climate wise, would encourage folk with relevant experience to reply. For example Alex's advice would be (on the whole) useless to me.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for referencing Valeyrac Exotics. ... I've not come across them before. An interesting list!

This thread reminds me of the many Plantspecies i cant eat with my Intolerance, i almost forgot, selfcooking for years....
I can eat: Carrots, green long Beans, sweet Paprika not spicy, Potatoes , Cucumbers, Salads, Zuccini, Oat, Chicoree lol healthy , Pumpkin, Fennel, Basil
(you better mention when you advice it because my Intolerances so others know its probably not theee tastiest in history but decent.)
Hi Romano,
I thought central Europe had a pretty good 'alternative' growing culture, where heirloom varieties are cherished. ... Maybe its a bit patchy. ...
Three places I'd look for like minded people are.... Farmers Markets, Community Supported Agriculture Projects and Smallholding/Allotment Groups.
If you can find just one such person, they should be able to open the door for you to other contacts and, more importantly, locally adapted varieties.
Good Luck!
