The Barafu

Barafu is a cold-acclimated plant known as an “Ice-Plant” as the bladder cells in its stem and leaves have ice crystal-like beads. Barafu is commonly grown in an artificial environment without soil, protected from contamination such as harmful heavy metals. The cultivation method for Barafu is simple and scientific; thus it is the best vegetable to mass-produce. It has a salty flavor as a result of the bladder cells absorbing salt from the ground and the natural salt is effective for relieving fatigue and good for skin health as it suppresses oxygen free radicals.
