★What are Edo Tokyo vegetables?★
Vegetables that originate from native species or cultivation methods inherited from Tokyo’s vegetable culture that began in the Edo period, and refer to vegetables that were grown around Tokyo.
For a while, this name was on the verge of extinction, but in 2011, the JA Tokyo Chuokai established this name in order to provide Tokyo residents with products produced in Tokyo, and currently 52 items have been certified.
★Edo-Tokyo vegetable initiatives★
Tokyo has changed from the rice-based economy of the Edo period to Tokyo, and has gone through periods of high growth and bubbles. Today, Tokyo’s agriculture is facing aging workers, a lack of successors, a decrease in farmland, and a dependence on imported food. Many other problems are occurring.
In the past, there was a lot of farmland in and around Edo City, but now there are only 11 wards in Tokyo’s 23 wards. Producers are making efforts despite these changes in the environment and continuing to produce and supply fresh vegetables, including Edo-Tokyo vegetables. Under these circumstances, the JA Tokyo Central Association is striving to expand production and consumption by supporting producers and training young chefs in order to promote the branding of Edo-Tokyo vegetables.
★Characteristics of Magome three-inch carrots★
1. It was created by crossing Western carrots that were introduced during the Meiji to Taisho periods.
2. It is approximately 10 cm (3 sun) long, conical, and has a rounded tip. The fruit is bright vermilion and soft.
3. It is generally shipped with leaves, which are also cooked. Cooking Contest 2023 Grand Prize “Cheese Nastog”
