Organic Ashitaba

An all-purpose healthy vegetable nurtured by Mother Nature

Ashitaba has very strong vitality, so much so that it is described “even if Ashitaba leaves are picked up today, it will sprout tomorrow”, and it has been eaten as a food and used as a medical herb since the ancient time. This belongs to the Apiaceae family and is indigenous to Japan, mainly found in Hachijo Island. Its unique yellow sap makes it distinct from other kinds of plant.
It richly contains a wide range of nutrients and, hence, is a healthy vegetable which is good for people who suffer from lifestyle diseases or metabolic syndrome or are concerned about their health.
We are the pioneer in finding the efficacy of Ashitaba and developing the cultivation method.

Organically Grown Ashitaba

At JBSL, organic cultivation is the most important aspect of Ashitaba farming. We strictly follow the fundamentals of agriculture, using no chemical pesticides at all. From soil preparation and composting to seeding, transplanting, and harvesting — every step is carried out carefully by hand.
We have developed our own cultivation expertise suited to the Indonesian climate. With a dedicated farm and processing facility located in Surabaya, East Java, we are able to ensure a stable supply of high-quality Ashitaba raw material.

  • Nutritional Profile of Ashitaba Powder

    We process Ashitaba by dehydrating it at a low temperature to prevent its nutrients during drying. As a result, necessary nutrients can be obtained from a smaller amount of Ashitaba Powder than those from fresh Ashitaba leaves. As a result, necessary nutrients can be taken with a lesser amount than Ashitaba leaves.
