It is characterized by little of the harshness and astringency distinctive to spinach and a strong sweetness. The raw material grown by a partner farm in Kyotango, Kyoto Prefecture is dried at low temperature, separated into leaf and stem, firmly retaining color, flavor, and aroma.<\/p>\n\n<p>Because the leaf and stem are dried separately in processing, specification designation such as \"leaf only,\" \"stem only,\" or \"leaf-stem mix\" is possible according to the application. For confectionery, prepared foods, retort, pet food, and more, you can choose the optimal specification according to the finish.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"border-top:1px solid #d7e8d7;border-bottom:1px solid #d7e8d7;padding:24px 0;margin:28px 0\"><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:0.1em;margin:0 0 10px\">01 \"Bentenmaru,\" a cultivar whose color and aroma remain deep<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 20px\">\"Bentenmaru,\" a high-function cultivar developed by Takii Seed, originally features little harshness and strong sweetness. Even after drying, the green coloring is vivid, and because the risk of fading during heat processing is suppressed, the appearance does not waver even when folded into bread dough or pasta.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:0.1em;margin:0 0 10px\">02 Two-stage drying separating leaf and stem<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 20px\">Because the leaf and stem differ in moisture content and fiber, drying them together tends to cause over-drying and uneven rehydration. We adjust the temperature and time separately for leaf and stem, achieving both a finish where the leaf rehydrates soft and the stem retains a crisp bite.<\/p><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:0.1em;margin:0 0 10px\">03 Year-round stable procurement through cultivation by a partner farm in Kyotango, Kyoto Prefecture<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 0 0\">We grow it under an annual plan with cooperating farms in the fields of Kyotango, which has temperature swings.

The day-night temperature difference draws out the leaf's sugar content and color, and the leaf flesh tightens in the environment exposed to sea breezes. It can be called a growing-region condition that easily draws out Bentenmaru's character.<\/p><\/div><div style=\"margin-bottom:0\"><div style=\"font-size:12px;color:#c4a67d;letter-spacing:0.12em;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:6px\">CULTIVATION<\/div><p style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.85\"><strong style=\"color:#6b4f2a\">Cultivation method:<\/strong>Based on soil-building with homemade compost and green manure, we avoid replant failure with rotation cultivation dividing the fields. Compared with conventional cultivation, we reduce the number of pesticide applications, and before shipment we conduct a viable-bacteria-count test. We carry a traceability-secured raw material to the processing plant.<\/p><\/div><\/div><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#888\">* Reference:<a href=\"https:\/\/oyaoya-kyoto.com\/products\/spinach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OYAOYA product page<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low-temperature drying technology and quality control<\/h2>\n\n<p>The harvested spinach is brought into the processing plant while kept fresh, and after preprocessing the leaf and stem are cut separately. Drying uses multiple temperature ranges differently, removing moisture in stages so as not to break down chlorophyll with sudden high heat. This suppresses color fading and aroma loss while making the finished moisture value consistent.<\/p>\n\n<p>Before shipment, we conduct a moisture-value check, sensory inspection, and foreign-matter check, keeping records for each lot number. In contract-based OEM supply, because a design that suppresses lot-to-lot variation in color, aroma, and rehydration rate is important, we can also attach monthly inspection data to the delivery slip.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#fff8e7;border-left:5px solid #f0a040;padding:20px 24px;border-radius:4px;margin:24px 0\"><div style=\"font-size:12px;color:#c77a00;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.1em;margin-bottom:10px\">\ud83d\udca1 TIPS | Drying-processing trivia<\/div><p style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.85\">In drying processing, generally when the moisture value exceeds 13% it becomes a cause of mold and browning, and when it falls below 7% the texture tends to become too hard. For leafy items like spinach, around 7\u20139% is a well-balanced guide, and we adjust it with the combination of finishing temperature and drying time.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use cases and adoption examples<\/h2>\n<p>Dried spinach is a raw material with diverse processing stages\u2014beyond rehydrating and using it, you can fold it in as is or make it into powder. We organized how to use it by application.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For confectionery and bread-making<\/h3>\n<p>For confectionery and bread manufacturers and OEM brands, dried spinach powder is increasingly adopted as a natural material that can express green without relying on colorants. Unlike fresh leaves, it can be stored at room temperature, and just adding 2\u20133% of the ground powder to the dough makes color unevenness unlikely; because the coloring is stable even combined with sugar, butter, and fats, it can greatly reduce the work-hours of the production line. With a specification that can handle a wide range of items\u2014scones, muffins, sandwich bread\u2014and accepting procurement consultations from small lots, it can be used from the prototype stage of new-product development.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For retort, prepared foods, and frozen foods<\/h3>\n<p>As a spinach material for frozen gratin, retort soups, and prepared foods, it is a raw material easy to incorporate into a production line. Fresh spinach takes a certain amount of work for washing, cutting, and blanching after arrival, but a dried product allows consolidated room-temperature storage and quantitative measuring, greatly simplifying a factory's inventory and yield management. Because texture remains more easily than with canned materials and the color tone is easier to maintain after heating, it suits uses where you want to stabilize the visual quality of gratin and Western-style prepared foods.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noodles, dashi, and bouillon<\/h3>\n<p>For noodle manufacturers and processed-food makers handling OEM manufacturing of instant noodles and pasta, it is a specification easy to adopt as a material to fold into noodle dough. Fresh spinach makes moisture management difficult and takes effort in the blend design of noodle dough, but a dried product can be stably incorporated into a powder-based blend, greatly reducing the work-hours of the production line. It can also be used for addition to dashi packs and seasoning bases, and because we also accept small-pack portioning and stick-type OEM, it can be used for original product development for EC brands and souvenirs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For baby food and seniors<\/h3>\n<p>It is a material easy for baby-food and nursing-care-food makers to adopt as a stable-quality leafy ingredient. Fresh spinach requires an oxalic-acid harshness-removal or parboiling step, but if it is already dried, it can be made into a paste as is after rehydrating in water, greatly reducing the preprocessing work-hours on the production line. Because a cultivar with little harshness is used, it blends well into lightly seasoned menus, and we also accommodate consultations on form and specifications to match the product concept, such as grinding it and using it as a powder material.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An ingredient for aojiru and green smoothies<\/h3>\n<p>It is a use adoptable as a secondary material by supplement makers and health-food brands handling OEM manufacturing of aojiru and green smoothies. Fresh spinach makes stable procurement volume and freshness management difficult, and the process through grinding and drying becomes a burden on the production line, but powdered spinach allows room-temperature storage and quantitative blending, contributing to quality stability per production lot. Because it can simultaneously impart a vivid green and a flavor distinctive to leafy vegetables, it also has good material compatibility with PB products appealing to \"domestic vegetables used\" and EC brands' original beverages.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial usage and rehydration<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Basics of rehydrating in water<\/strong>: soaking in water or lukewarm water (room temperature to 40\u00b0C) for about 3\u20135 minutes returns it to its original state. Use a rehydration rate of about 8\u201310 times (80\u2013100g after rehydration for 10g dried) as a guide. Because aroma components dissolve into the rehydration liquid, it can be used as is as a base for soups and simmered dishes.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Guide for folding-in uses<\/strong>: we recommend prototyping from an addition of about 1\u20133% relative to wheat flour or rice flour. Because the coloring changes by the gram, adjust it to match the color design of the final product. When making powder, making it a fine powder increases its dispersibility into dough and drinks.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Storage and handling after opening<\/strong>: ideally, use it up within 6 months at room temperature while unopened, and within 1\u20132 months after opening if sealed and kept in a cool, dark place. When portioning from a commercial large bag, we recommend adding a desiccant to avoid moisture absorption.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:2em\">Related cases and articles<\/h3><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/oem\/origin-labeling-rules\/\">Country-of-origin labeling rules for dried vegetables\uff5cAn explanation of the raw material country-of-origin labeling system<\/a>(OEM article)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/dried-veggie-recipes\/\">10 dried-vegetable recipes | from miso soup to side dishes, solving vegetable shortage in a hurry<\/a>(Column)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/sustainable\/pregnancy-vegetable-guide\/\">A Vegetable Intake Guide for Expectant Mothers | How to Supplement Folate and Iron with Dried Vegetables<\/a>(Column)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsid=\"2831\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-fullWide pc-py-20 sp-py-20 alignfull\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><div class=\"swell-block-fullWide__inner l-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-section_ttl u-mb-ctrl u-mb-10\">Product catalog showing the items we handle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Flexible support from small lots to large lots<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large size_xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\u4e7e\u71e5\u91ce\u83dc\" class=\"wp-image-110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/agriture.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_4178-Edit-edited-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list -list-under-dashed\">\n<li>Sold in small lots from 100g<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handling heirloom vegetables from across Japan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dried fruits and herbs also supported<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-button -size-l is-style-btn_normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.noco.sale\/share\/d\/01KT67ZHHNQF9MZ0RKRGQA92MQ\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\"><span>Download here<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e0ead8;padding:18px 0\"><h3 style=\"color:#2c5f2d;margin:0 0 10px;font-size:16px;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding-left:12px\">Q.

When those with a strong cold constitution eat a large amount, combining it with warming ingredients such as ginger and sesame oil is said to keep it from cooling the body too much, letting it be brought in with good balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>It is thought that the basic nature of the yakuzen-style workings does not change greatly even after drying processing. Because Agriture's dried spinach suppresses component loss through low-temperature drying, adding it to soups, takikomi gohan, and dashi makes it a raw material easy to use as a recipe material from a yakuzen perspective too.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#f5f0f9,#fcfaff);border:1px solid #d8c9e6;border-radius:8px;padding:28px;margin:32px 0\"><div
