The first two vegetables have now been sent to the lab!

Scorzonera (SWE: Svartrotsblad) was picked at the crisp hour of 6.30 on Monday morning (the 24th of May) and then weighed in order to get enough leaves for the nutrient testing

Stinging nettle (SWE: brännässla) was picked at the crisp hour of 7.00 on Monday (the 24th of May) morning and being weighed in order to get enough leaves for nutrient testing

Scorzonera and nettle was packed fresh in plastic bags and then vacum sealed and chilled in a cooler box for express transport by car from Stjärnsund, Southern Dalarna to the lab in Danderyd, Stockholm. Then the bags were sent in an airplane to Pragh for the actual analysis. Labs in Sweden apparently dont have the capacity.

About This Project

Perennial vegetables are edible plants that regrow in the same place every year. They are a key component of sustainable regenerative food systems and previous research indicates that they are very nutritious and can contribute to healthier diets. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research regarding plant nutrient content. Our aim is to fill the knowledge gaps about the nutrients found in perennial vegetables, with a focus on varieties grown in colder climates.
