The true wasabi plant (Eutrema japonica), also called Japanese horseradish, is a rare vegetable or spice plant that originated in Japan but is now cultivated worldwide. Everyone who regularly enjoys sushi is familiar with this green, spicy paste that brings tears to the eyes and is often touted as wasabi paste in Europe. But now the frightening truth: if at all, such pastes only include wasabi in the lower single-digit percentage range. The main ingredient is predominantly ordinary horseradish...

Frederik Vollert, Moritz Köhle and Maja Pfund from Lubera’s breeder team are currently taking over the Lubera kitchen at the end of April – to cook and taste rhubarb. This is a rather unusual picture: dozens of rhubarb bowls on the table, men and one woman standing around the rhubarb table discussing the finer points of rhubarb flavour. What is going on? The Lubera editorial team wanted to know more and asked the acid-minded rhubarb enthusiasts and rhubarb chef Frederik Vollert about...

Along with the introduction of the vegetable young plant group 'EverVeg®', we have also expanded our assortment of artichoke young plants. Besides the well-known green artichokes, we are happy to now be able to offer you artichoke young plants of varieties that form reddish flower heads. With our new artichoke young plants assortment, we are making our contribution to distribute this delicious Mediterranean vegetable further in Central Europe and at the same time delighting gourmets all over the...

The artichoke (Cynara cardunculus subsp. scolymus; syn.: Cynara scolymus) is a popular vegetable, especially in Mediterranean countries. And it is not only the Francophiles and Italophiles among us who regularly eat this special vegetable. In our region, it is usually on the menu as a pizza topping. But the artichoke is much more. Not only for culinary reasons but also due to its gardening possibilities, the artichoke belongs in the home garden. Even when it is not harvested, this plant species...

We use the term 'EverVeg®' to describe a wide range of different vegetable plants, all of which share the same characteristics: edible parts of the plant, perenniality and the ease of growing them in home gardens. Here we present this group of vegetables as a whole; we show the importance of Ever Veg® in the overall assortment and present the consumer trends that favour EverVeg®.

At Lubera Edibles, our Allium young plants are standardly available in our 60-cell trays. With the introduction of this new group of young plants, we will initially offer both Allium young plants in the 'Multi+' quality (biennial/overwintered) and in the 'Multi' quality (annual) in order to be able to meet the demand. For an early and less temperature controlled potting, the Allium young plants of the quality 'Multi+' are suitable as usual because they are not so sensitive to temperature due to...

We added perennial Allium species to our EverVeg® group (wild cabbage, wasabi, rhubarb, artichoke, skirret, horseradish). These Allium species are perennial, hardy and can be harvested all year round. Let the following text surprise and inspire you. We will mention which Allium species can expand and complement an Eternal Vegetables® bed and enrich your assortment of young plants.

The production of ready-to-sell tree kale plants from the young plants at Lubera Edibles is anything but difficult; you can get tree kale ready for sale or trade in a short time. The strong growth character of tree kale alone ensures that our tree kale young plants develop splendidly shortly after potting and you will have plants ready for sale after about six weeks, especially at cooler production temperatures.

Tree kale (Brassica oleracea var. ramosa, which is sometimes also known as 'perpetual kale”, is an old cultivated plant and makes a harvest of fresh cabbage leaves possible for an entire year, without that constantly new cabbage young plants must be planted. The names perpetual kale and tree kale are already quite accurate and descriptive as far as the growth character and endurance of this particular vegetable are concerned. In the following, we would like to introduce you to this...

Looking into the future can be little more than looking into a crystal ball. What helps is to look back: rhubarb has a great past and history.
