Wakaya Moroheiya
In summer fields, this slimy, healthy vegetable grows vigorously. Wakaya Town, Miyagi Prefecture, is a well-known production area with the highest sales of Moroheiya in the prefecture. About twenty-one producers cultivate approximately 9.9 tons annually across an area of 80 ares. Introduced in 1988 as a highly nutritious recommended agricultural product by the prefecture, it has taken root as a precious vegetable that can be grown during the summer when leafy greens are difficult to produce. The harvest season is from mid-July to around October. The unique viscosity that appears when chopped is packed with nutrients. Whether served in soup, ohitashi (blanched greens), or dressed salads, it brings vitality to the summer dining table. Please bring this gentle green, which Wakaya takes pride in and which is highly valued during the season when leafy vegetables are hard to grow due to the heat, to your table.
