Bejo Zaden raises seeds of unusual fruit and vegetables

Small vegetables are intended for single households; while cooks prefer tasty shallots to the usual onions, which is why these have been bred to be larger. �Hybrid shallots can be grown directly from seed and ripen three times faster that the usual shallots, i.e. within 130 days�, says Siem Beers, Area Manager Eastern Europe.

For something more unusual seeds are available for producing white, yellow and purple-red carrots with a high beta carotene content. And coming soon to supermarket shelves: juices from Marwit GmbH, freshly pressed in the evening, delivered overnight and ready for sale in the morning. �The fruit used comes from our seeds,� says Beer.
