Naturally grown Shirana (Ueno-san)

[Ueno-san's Shirana]

White mustard greens are a type of non-heading cabbage in the Brassicaceae family, and are said to be a variety that was created by hybridization.

White mustard spinach has little bitterness and a mild flavor. It becomes soft and juicy when cooked, making it an ideal leafy vegetable for dishes such as ohitashi and simmered dishes.

Ueno has been committed to natural farming since he started farming

Masuhisa Ueno, a natural farmer, has now become an indispensable part of Purely.
He encountered Purely when he first began farming and has been farming using natural farming methods from the very beginning.

At first, the crops did not grow well and there were even reports of total destruction.
"At first, I didn't know anything about natural farming, so I just copied what I saw. But it didn't work at all. When I started growing onions here, almost all of them died after about two years."
Although Ueno can now laugh about his failures, he says that it was extremely difficult at the beginning.

Now, among Purely's partner producers, they produce a wide variety of naturally grown vegetables, which is one of the best.
Most of the produce is produced from seeds we collect ourselves or purchased fixed varieties, and we are committed to natural cultivation from seeds.
"I want to make natural farming a normal part of agriculture. I believe I can do it, and I want to continue spreading the word by continuing to focus solely on natural farming."
