Fresh Rhubarb Delivery Update (July 6)

✎ ◷

Good morning, everyone. Today, we will be delivering fresh rhubarb to Tateshina Jiyu Noen Haramura Store.

Today's harvest is taking place in the rain. The rain-soaked rhubarb looks especially vibrant and full of freshness.

Harvesting in the rain is more challenging, but the cooler temperatures help preserve the freshness of the freshly harvested rhubarb.

To maintain this freshness, we want to finish harvesting as quickly as possible and move on to the next task.

After harvesting, the rhubarb is immediately washed, sorted, and packaged so it can be delivered to the store in the freshest possible condition.

We hope you enjoy the delicious flavor and crisp texture that only freshly harvested morning rhubarb can offer.

Wondering what was going on, I headed toward the spot where she had taken off and found a nest with many eggs inside. The female pheasant I had just seen had been protecting those eggs and the nest. It reminded me that humans are certainly not the only ones who need this land. Since the work had not just started, she must have been carefully protecting the eggs until the very last moment before flying away. Somehow, I felt a little sorry.

English | 日本語  Good morning, everyone. It is the middle of summer, and I hope you are all doing well. Here, I have been weeding the rows in the vegetable garden. There seem to be relatively few weeds because of the large leaves of the rhubarb, but the plants appear to be wilted and not very vigorous because of the heat. And the most distinctive feature was that there were very few of the characteristic red petioles that symbolize red rhubarb, with most of them being lush green. The red color of these petioles comes from anthocyanin, a type of natural pigment produced by plants. Rhubarb petioles contain various types of polyphenols produced by the plant. Among them, anthocyanin is one of the representative pigments responsible for red and reddish-purple coloration. Simply put, polyphenols are a group of compounds found in plants, and flavonoids are one group within polyphenols, with anthocyanins existing as a group within flavonoids. Rhubarb accumulates a large amount of an...
