Watami Farm started organic farming in 2002 with the desire to provide safe and secure agricultural products, and currently operates one of the largest farms in Japan, covering approximately 500 hectares, including organic farming and dairy farming in six locations across the country. Masu.
We mainly sell products made using vegetables and raw milk produced on farms and ranches through our website “Watami Organic Official Site”, but by selling on “Amazon” following “Rakuten Market” We want more people to enjoy the natural taste and charm of organically grown vegetables. In addition, by selling in Japan’s two largest malls, we will be able to deliver more products and contribute to the spread of organic food and people’s health in Japan.
* ■Developing products using “Super BIO Food’s Sweet Potatoes”*
“Kikuimo” is a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family and is rich in “inulin”, a water-soluble dietary fiber. Inulin is also expected to be a nutrient that feeds intestinal bacteria. Furthermore, in addition to minerals such as potassium and magnesium, it contains nutrients such as polyphenols and B group vitamins, and is attracting attention as a healthy vegetable.
At Watami, we sell strategic products using “kikuimo” grown
organically at Watami Farm. Organic Kikuimo tea is a food with functional claims. It is the responsibility of the business operator to notify the Commissioner of the Consumer Affairs Agency in advance of the fact that this product “suppresses the rise in blood sugar levels after meals” based on scientific evidence, and this product has been accepted. Pour hot water into a tea bag and enjoy the delicious nutrition of sweet potatoes.
14 packets of organic sweet potato tea 1,680 yen (tax included) * ■Watami Group celebrates 40th anniversary*
