With its own spinach cultivation and a wide range of lettuce varieties, leafy vegetables represent a key core product from Staay. Spinach is grown on a large scale at the Staay facilities in Spain. Once the spinach is fully grown, the loose leaves are harvested with a reaper and transported by our own drivers to the Netherlands the next morning chilled and fresh. Lettuce varieties such as Lollo Rossa, Lollo Bionda and oak leaf are also field-grown here.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands has invested in the indoor cultivation of lettuce. In this process, lettuce is cultivated in a fully automated process using LED-illuminated climate chambers before continuing to grow in the greenhouse in channels filled with water. This hydroponic lettuce<\/a><\/strong> is available in varieties such as the tricoloured Salatrio<\/a> (3 types of lettuce on one root ball), red and green Salanova<\/a> and butterhead lettuce<\/a>. In addition to these heads of lettuce, we also grow Teenleaf<\/a><\/strong>. This is a new growing concept that provides a stronger variant of the well-known loose baby leaves that stays fresh longer.<\/p>\n
