New Leaf
Soil grown, hand reared, fragrant and rich in taste
Rich flavour, long shelf life, innovation and great responsiveness to customers' requirements – this is what characterizes Dubai based New Leaf Farm, which specializes in growing microgreens, edible flowers, basils, herbs and salads. Building upon 20 years of experience, they developed a special soil mixture in which they grow their greens. The soil makes all the difference between New Leaf’s products and those from other vertical farms. Their superfood microgreens contain up to 9 times more naturally occuring nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants than hydroponically grown plants with their synthetically added nutrients.
The plants grown in the soil mix have more flavour, are more resilient and stay fresh for longer. Moreover, New Leaf cares about sustainability – their team water their plants twice a day and still use 95% less water than traditional methods, and all the production process is based locally, in Dubai. All New Leaf microgreens are grown without any pesticides, herbicides, chemical or synthetic fertilizers, and are hand-cut before sunrise to capture maximum flavour and nutrition. The range is constantly expanding to ignite creativity in the most demanding chefs. All microgreens are carefully checked to ensure consistency, weight, and quality before delivery, to guarantee the best quality product.
