APPSTEM MEDIA LLC Brings Heritage Flavor Back to Tables with Premium Non-GMO Okra Seeds

Walnut Creek, CA – October 26, 2023 – Forget those slimy, bland okra experiences of the past! APPSTEM MEDIA LLC, a California-based agricultural innovation company, is shaking things up with their high-quality, non-GMO okra seeds. Based right here in Walnut Creek (41 Amberwood Ln, 94598-2357, and you can reach them at 951-360-6362), APPSTEM isn't just selling seeds, they’re bringing back a piece of culinary heritage and making it accessible to gardeners and farmers across the country. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a representative from APPSTEM MEDIA LLC. “A lot of the okra available today is bred for machine harvesting and long-distance shipping, which frankly, sacrifices flavor and texture. We wanted to offer something better – seeds that grow okra the way grandma used to make it: tender, flavorful, and perfect for everything from gumbo to frying.” What's the Big Deal with Non-GMO? Let's be honest, “Non-GMO” can sound like a buzzword. But for APPSTEM, it's a core principle. It means their okra seeds haven't been genetically modified in a lab. They've been carefully selected and preserved through traditional breeding methods, ensuring a natural, robust plant. “We believe in letting nature do its thing,” says the APPSTEM rep. “Our seeds come from heritage varieties that have been grown for generations, adapted to thrive in a variety of climates. You're getting a plant that's naturally resilient and produces incredible okra.” Beyond the Slime: Rediscovering Okra's Versatility Okra often gets a bad rap, largely thanks to its reputation for being… well, slimy. But that's usually a result of improper cooking or varieties bred for quantity over quality. APPSTEM’s seeds produce okra that’s known for its tender pods and minimal slime, opening up a world of culinary possibilities. “People are surprised at how versatile okra actually is!” says the rep. “It's amazing in gumbo and jambalaya, of course, but try it grilled, roasted, pickled, or even sliced thin and added to salads. It's a fantastic source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants too, so it's good for you and delicious.” What Makes APPSTEM Seeds Different? APPSTEM MEDIA LLC isn't just about selling seeds; it's about providing a quality product and supporting growers. Here’s what sets their non-GMO okra seeds apart: Heritage Varieties: They focus on carefully selected heritage varieties known for superior flavor, texture, and yield. These aren’t your average, mass-produced okra seeds. High Germination Rate: APPSTEM seeds are rigorously tested to ensure a high germination rate, meaning more plants and a more bountiful harvest. Nobody wants to waste time and effort on seeds that don't sprout. Open-Pollinated: These are open-pollinated seeds, meaning you can save the seeds from your harvest and replant them next year. It's a sustainable and cost-effective way to garden. Adaptable: The varieties offered by APPSTEM are selected for their ability to thrive in a range of climates and conditions. Whether you’re in the South, Southwest, or even further north, you can grow delicious okra. Small Batch & Quality Control: APPSTEM focuses on small-batch processing to maintain strict quality control. Each batch of seeds is carefully inspected to ensure it meets their high standards. Direct from the Source: Ordering directly from APPSTEM MEDIA LLC means you're getting fresh seeds, not something that's been sitting on a store shelf for months. Growing Tips for Okra Success: Okay, you’ve got your seeds. Now what? Here are a few tips from the experts at APPSTEM to help you grow a fantastic okra crop: Sunlight: Okra loves sunshine! Make sure your plants get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial. Okra doesn't like soggy roots. Amend your soil with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Warmth: Okra is a warm-season crop. Wait until the soil has warmed up before planting, typically after the last frost. Spacing: Give your okra plants plenty of room to grow. Space them about 12-18 inches apart. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Harvesting: Harvest okra pods when they are young and tender, typically 2-3 inches long. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more pods. Don't Be Afraid to Pick Often: The more you pick, the more it grows!
