FAQ
Grown indoors in a clean, controlled environment using LED lighting.
Hydroponically grown vegetables are cultivated without soil. Primarily carried out in indoor facilities, this process uses a nutrient-rich water solution to nourish the plants. By strictly managing temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient concentration, stable year-round production is made possible.
Ready to eat as soon as you open it.
Hydroponically grown vegetables are far more hygienic and pose fewer pesticide concerns than field-grown crops, making them safe to eat right out of the package in most cases. For leafy greens, soaking them in cold water for about five minutes is recommended, as the cells absorb water and make the leaves crisp.
