<p>📝 PRODUCT OVERVIEW<br>
Our <a href="https://agritech-north.ca/pages/better-than-organic">Better Than Organic (BTO)</a> Tokyo Bekana is a versatile Asian green that brings a mild, sweet flavor to your table. With tender, light green leaves and crisp white stems, this Chinese cabbage variety offers a delicate taste that's more subtle than traditional cabbage. Perfect for both raw and cooked applications.</p>

<p>🌿 CROP DETAILS<br>
Tokyo Bekana is a treasured variety that originated in Japan, where it has been cultivated for generations in market gardens around Tokyo. This green represents the refined taste of Japanese cuisine, prized for its tender leaves and versatile nature. While technically a type of Chinese cabbage, its mild flavor profile sets it apart from its more assertive cousins. Our vertical farming method preserves these cherished characteristics while ensuring consistent quality throughout the year.</p>
