Jean Thoma grew some Aptus superkale in his urban garden. Chef and owner of organic restaurant Aan Sjuutee\u00e4njd is enthusiastic: \u201cThis super-kale is delicious and weighs almost a kilo! The great thing is that with the lab results from Aptus we can see exactly how much more nutritional value there is in the treated crops.\u00a0We are very optimistic about our collaboration with Aptus Plant Tech. For the second year in a row, testing sections have been made and the same crops have been cultivated, with and without Aptus products. The results are impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking at the huge kale, you would almost expect it to be lower in nutritional density. That is not the case.\u00a0Looking at the treated section, lab results show an increase of:<\/p>\n
39% in calcium<\/p>\n
36% in magnesium<\/p>\n
61% in manganese<\/p>\n
High calcium values indicate amongst others a better quality and longer shelf-life. Manganese is important for the metabolism and the process of photosynthesis.\u00a0We also see a reduction of 44% in sodium and 48% in aluminum , which respectively is better for plant development and healthier for consumers.<\/p>\n
