Nutritionally-enhanced leafy vegetables produced with non-GMO technology
The future of agriculture is in growing crops that improve human health, longevity, productivity, and quality of life, in addition to providing calories and basic nutrients. The Nutrasorb / Rutgers team helps farmers move to the forefront of producing healthier foods.
We use non–GMO technologies to enhance the nutritional and health promoting properties of lettuce and other leafy vegetables. Our first products include Super Lettuces™ that contain more beneficial polyphenols (antioxidants) than blueberries. Five varieties of lettuces containing high levels of different beneficial polyphenols have been developed.
