After a nice cup of coffee/tea/herb (shiso, jusmine and cardamom leaf) tea,
The CEO of Koppert Cress, Mr Rob Baan, explained passionately about the company and interesting stories.
We tried different kinds of leaves, cress and flowers. They were exciting and surprising in taste! The highlight was the oyster leaf!
After the tasting we had a nice lunch on the terrace. We got the guided tour of Koppert Cress by Mr Rob Baan and ended with the speech of
Minister Nakano from the Japanese Embassy and Mrs Fumiko Inoue, co-chair of the RJC.
An opening party was held in the innovative greenhouse. Koppert Cress is involved in innovative technology.
They also produce shiso, kaiware daikon and sansho, which are well known in Japan.
It was a very inspiring visit. Mr Baan’s passion and love for the environment and health is fantastic. We received a generous gift of a selection of cress to take home.
We celebrated the opening of their new greenhouse that regulates temperature with bubbles. Please read this article.
