Good Red Rhubarb Jam Deserves a Safe Journey

English | 日本語 Getting Our Jam to You Safely: Testing Our Shipping Packaging Making jam is only part of the job. We carefully select our ingredients, prepare the fruit, cook the jam, and fill each jar. At that point, it may seem like the work is finished. But there is one more important step: Getting the jam safely to you. That is why we are currently testing and building prototypes for the packaging we will use to ship our jam. Jars Need Protection A glass jar may feel sturdy when you pick it up from a shelf. Shipping is a different story.

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...
