Naturally grown komatsuna (by Sakata)

Naturally grown komatsuna

Komatsuna is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes, including simmered, cooked, and stir-fried dishes.
Recently, it has become increasingly popular with many people using it regularly in smoothies and other dishes.

Sakata's komatsuna has crisp stems and thick, satisfying leaves, and retains just the right texture even when cooked.
It can also be enjoyed in miso soup or boiled dishes.

"I want to become a natural farmer!" said Masahiko Sakata, who graduated from Purely in 2015. As expected, persistence is power!

First of all, since several years of farming experience was required to become a new farmer, he worked hard as a part-timer in the production department of a large company that used chemical fertilizers and pesticides, a world different from Purely. He says that he was able to build up both his physical and mental strength during that time.

Despite facing poor and hard soil where even wheat could not grow, they continued to cultivate the soil for natural cultivation. Sakata-san's personality connected him with connections and the kindness of those around him, and he told us about the five years he has overcome.
Of course, he would occasionally bring vegetables to Purely and say, "I've finished it!", but in the spring of 2020, he finally made his debut as a Purely producer.
