Origin

Originally this beautiful red leaf used to be imported from the North East of Asia. However, due to the complex cultivation in those countries, it was not possible to grow it without pesticides. At the special request of some top restaurants we took up the challenge to grow this crop under our greenhouse con ditions, without pesticides! Using beneficial insects, which eliminate harmful insects, spraying is no longer required. The result is a healthy and clean crop.
