Product Description

The Cycas revoluta seeds are strikingly large, oval-shaped, and encased in a firm, glossy outer shell. Their coloration ranges from deep orange to reddish-brown, with a slightly rough texture due to fine natural ridges. Measuring around 2-3 cm in length, these seeds have a hard, protective coat, which helps them endure harsh conditions. A distinguishing feature is their fleshy, nutrient-rich endosperm, essential for their slow but steady germination. These ancient seeds are relics of the past, reflecting the prehistoric lineage of cycads.
