Unlike ordinary green mizuna, a feature is that a vivid reddish-purple rides from the leaf stalk to the leaf tip, and that color is sealed in through low-temperature drying. At Agriture, we develop it in parallel with Benihoshi mizuna powder (made-to-order), made by finely milling the same Benihoshi mizuna, proposing a division where dried Benihoshi mizuna is for applications where you want to keep the crisp shape and reddish-purple color, and powder for coloring dough, sauces, and powders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with green mizuna, sunny lettuce, and red-mizuna-type leafy vegetables, Benihoshi mizuna can differentiate on its \"anthocyanin-derived reddish-purple color,\" \"mizuna-like thin leaf stalks and crisp texture,\" and \"pop as a salad and coloring ingredient.\" It is an ingredient we are often consulted about for prototyping as a coloring raw material for salad mixes, colorful prepared dishes, light pickles, aemono, toppings, and veg-type products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Agriture's dried Benihoshi mizuna: three points of commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Low-temperature drying that makes use of the reddish-purple color<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appeal of Benihoshi mizuna is the reddish-purple color that runs into the leaf stalk. This color comes from a pigment called anthocyanin, which changes readily with high-temperature heating or prolonged drying. At Agriture, we suppress the drying temperature and design it to remove moisture in a short time, retaining the reddish-purple color in the finish as much as possible. The color rising when rehydrated becomes a factor that governs the appearance of salads and colorful prepared dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Turning it into raw material that makes use of the thin leaf-stalk shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benihoshi mizuna's forte is the thinness of the leaf stalks and the crisp texture. After trimming the leaves and leaf stalks to an easy-to-handle length, we dry them, finishing them into a shape usable as-is for salad mixes, light pickles, aemono, and toppings. Length and cut can be adjusted to match the application, so you can select to fit the appearance and texture of the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Selecting domestically grown (Kyoto-grown) Benihoshi mizuna for raw material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Agriture, using Benihoshi mizuna from domestic growing regions including Kyoto-grown, we turn it into raw material by discerning the way the reddish-purple color rides, the thickness of the leaf stalks, and the freshness. Because Benihoshi is a variety whose reddish-purple color stabilizes when it gets sufficient sunlight, choosing lots with good color development governs the raw material's coloring. Raw material with a visible growing region makes traceability easy to design, and is one reason it is chosen in prototyping by salad-product, prepared-dish, and veg-type makers.<\/p>\n\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\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features of commercial dried Benihoshi mizuna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even among mizuna-type dried raw materials, Benihoshi mizuna is an ingredient holding a unique position on its reddish-purple color, crisp texture, and pop as a coloring ingredient. We organize its strengths as a leafy vegetable from six perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:16px;margin:24px 0\">\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Anthocyanin-derived reddish-purple color<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Benihoshi mizuna's reddish-purple color comes from the pigment anthocyanin, also contained in blueberries and red shiso. Unlike all-green ordinary mizuna, a deep accent works in the appearance of salads and colorful prepared dishes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">A mizuna-like crisp texture<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">The light bite that comes through the thin leaf stalks is mizuna's forte. It is finished so this texture can be made use of even when dried, adding a texture accent to salads, aemono, and toppings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Pop as a salad and coloring ingredient<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Just adding one reddish-purple item to a salad mix full of green leaves tightens up the coloring. With a dried product that can be stored at room temperature, you can incorporate Benihoshi mizuna's color into the finished product regardless of season or supply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">A gentle flavor with little off-flavor<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Benihoshi mizuna has little of the off-flavor characteristic of mizuna, a light flavor easy to eat even raw. It suits recipe designs where you want to make use of the ingredient's color and texture \u2014 salads, light pickles, aemono, and the like.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fafcf8;border-left:3px solid #2c5f2d;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Well suited to non-heated and lightly heated uses<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Because the reddish-purple color changes readily with high-temperature heating, the color can be made use of in non-heated or lightly blanched uses \u2014 salads, light pickles, toppings. It can be used as a coloring raw material for product designs where you want to keep the color.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex:1 1 calc(50% - 8px);min-width:260px;background:#fdfbf6;border-left:3px solid #6b8e23;padding:18px 20px\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold\">Use in combination with powder<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Used together with finely milled Benihoshi mizuna powder (made-to-order), you can design recipes that balance the leafy texture (dried leaf) and coloring of dough and sauces (powder).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product specifications (commercial)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basic specifications at the prototype stage are as follows.

At Agriture, we make the growing region, harvest timing, and reddish-purple color development the axes of raw-material design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#fdfbf6;padding:24px;border-radius:8px;margin:24px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">BRAND\uff5cThe positioning of Benihoshi mizuna raw material<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">The reddish-purple mizuna used as a leafy vegetable that adds color to salads, light pickles, aemono, toppings, and the like is Benihoshi. At Agriture, we distill this reddish-purple coloring and crisp texture into a commercial raw material, offering it as an ingredient usable across a wide range of finished products \u2014 salad products, prepared dishes, and veg-type products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">PRODUCER | Basic policy for sourcing and coordination<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">We select lots with uniform reddish-purple color development, leaf-stalk thickness, and freshness by aligning directly with the growing region. At the prototype stage, we take small quantities from multiple suppliers and, after evaluating on the color retention during drying and the ease of rehydration, we build the supply line for mass-production lots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">REGION\uff5cFeatures of the growing region<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px\">Mizuna is one of the Kyoto vegetables representative of Kyoto, and it is cultivated in various regions nationwide. Coloring varieties like Benihoshi develop color stably in environments with plenty of sunlight. At Agriture, centered on Kyoto-grown, we discern lots with color development and texture suited to drying and turn them into raw material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;color:#2c5f2d;font-weight:bold;font-size:15px\">CULTIVATION\uff5cCultivation and reddish-purple color development<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">When Benihoshi is cultivated with wide plant spacing so that light reaches the leaf axis, the reddish-purple color rides stably. Because it is a variety whose color development tends to fade under insufficient light, high temperature, or excess moisture, at Agriture we select ones in a state where color and texture have ridden and turn them into raw material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Low-temperature drying technology and quality control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prompt drying after cutting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Benihoshi mizuna is a leafy vegetable, if time passes after cutting, the leaf tips wilt and the color tends to dull. By moving quickly from cutting to drying, it is finished under conditions that balance the reddish-purple color and crisp texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Retaining the reddish-purple color through low-temperature drying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High-temperature drying dulls the reddish-purple of anthocyanin and readily dissipates the greenish aroma. By removing moisture slowly at a low temperature range, it is finished so the reddish-purple color remains even when rehydrated. As an ingredient for salads and colorful prepared dishes, we aim for raw material that conveys the Benihoshi-mizuna character in appearance. When using it in a salad, drain the rehydrated leaves of water and plate them as-is to make use of the reddish-purple color. When using it in light pickles, rehydrating and then pickling lets the flavor soak in while the color remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We organize the uses we are consulted about for prototyping at Agriture into six categories. All are examples of recipe designs that make use of Benihoshi mizuna's reddish-purple color and crisp texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Salads and salad mixes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable as a coloring raw material for salad, salad-mix, and baby-leaf-type products. Just adding one reddish-purple item to green leaves tightens up the coloring. Draining the rehydrated leaves of water and plating them lets you make use of the reddish-purple color and crisp texture. That it can be secured as room-temperature stock and is not easily affected by supply is also valued in commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Light pickles and pickles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable as a coloring raw material for light pickles, instant pickles, and senmai-zuke-style items. Non-heated pickling makes the reddish-purple color easy to retain, adding color to the appearance of pickles. Because it comes pre-prepped, it also leads to reduced labor in pickle manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Aemono and side dishes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable as a colorful aemono or side dish \u2014 ohitashi, sesame aemono, namul, side salads, and the like. With heating only to the level of a light blanch, color loss is easy to suppress, letting you incorporate Benihoshi mizuna's reddish-purple color into the coloring of prepared dishes. It can also be developed into side-dish making for delis and ready-to-eat foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Topping and plating ingredient<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable as a topping ingredient for donburi, noodles, soup, pasta, and the like. Just scattering it as a finish adds a reddish-purple accent and tightens up the look of the dish. Because it is a dried product, measuring and portioning are easy, and it can also be developed into small bags and individual packs for toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ready-to-eat, frozen foods, and prepared dishes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be built in as a coloring vegetable for salad packs, deli prepared dishes, and meal kits. It can be stably secured as room-temperature stock, and because it comes pre-prepped, it reduces the labor of the production line. It suits salad-type and side-dish-type products where you want to add color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Veg-type products and coloring ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable as a vegetable source or coloring ingredient for veg-type meals and salad-type products. Because Benihoshi mizuna has a reddish-purple color and a light texture, it suits as an accent in product designs where you want to bring out color and a veggie feel. Combined with powder, you can balance coloring and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commercial usage and rehydration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rehydration basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For salad: rehydrate in cold water for 5\u201310 minutes, drain well, and plate<\/li>\n<li>For light pickles: rehydrating and then pickling lets the flavor soak in while the reddish-purple color remains<\/li>\n<li>For aemono: if lightly blanching, keeping it brief makes color loss easier to suppress<\/li>\n<li>For toppings: it can also be scattered as-is without rehydrating, for use as a finish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blending guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salad: 3\u20136 g dried rehydrated per 100 g finished<\/li>\n<li>Light pickles: 4\u20138 g dried rehydrated per 100 g finished<\/li>\n<li>Aemono: 3\u20135 g dried rehydrated per serving (60\u201380 g)<\/li>\n<li>Topping: scatter 1\u20132 g dried per serving as a guide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Before opening: store in a cool, dark place at room temperature, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight<\/li>\n<li>After opening: transfer to a zip bag or airtight container and use up within 1 to 2 months<\/li>\n<li>The best-before date is about 6 months from the shipping date.

This reddish-purple color comes from a pigment called anthocyanin, usable for coloring in salads, light pickles, aemono, and the like. The flavor is mizuna's characteristic light quality, so you can use it by purpose with green dried mizuna, distinguished by color and application.<\/p><\/div>\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\">How much reddish-purple color remains?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">By moving promptly from cutting to low-temperature drying, it is finished retaining the reddish-purple color. Even after rehydrating, you can confirm the reddish-purple color as coloring for salads, light pickles, and aemono. Because anthocyanin changes readily with high-temperature heating and prolonged storage or moisture absorption, care is needed for the finished product's heating conditions and storage design. It becomes easier to make use of the color in non-heated or lightly blanched uses.<\/p><\/div>\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\">Can it be used in salads?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">This is one of the applications we are often consulted about. Rehydrated in cold water and drained well, it can be used as a coloring ingredient for salads and salad mixes. Because the reddish-purple color comes alive when non-heated, it suits uses where you plate it raw. Just adding one item to green leaves tightens up the whole salad's coloring.<\/p><\/div>\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\">How do you use it differently from Benihoshi mizuna powder?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">Dried Benihoshi mizuna is for \"applications where you want to keep the leaf's texture and color,\" and the powder is for \"coloring dough, sauces, and beverages, and powder blending\" \u2014 that is the division. Salad, light pickles, and aemono suit the dried product, and uniform coloring of dough and sauces suits the powder. Using both together enables recipe designs that balance texture and uniform coloring.<\/p><\/div>\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\">What is the minimum prototype lot?<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">Prototyping is accepted from 1 kg of raw material. You can prototype multiple conditions in parallel \u2014 comparing cut lengths, comparing salad-use and aemono-use specifications, and so on. Full production is from 10 kg~, and you can consult us including through to OEM finished-product formation. After hearing the specifications, lot, and schedule of your intended finished product, we propose a quote and delivery timeline individually.<\/p><\/div>\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\">Please tell me the best-before date and how to store it.<\/h3><p style=\"margin:0\">The best-before date is about 6 months from the shipping date. Store the unopened product away from high temperature, high humidity, and direct sunlight, in a cool, dark place at room temperature. Because Benihoshi mizuna's reddish-purple color changes readily with light and moisture absorption, after opening transfer it to a zip-top bag or light-blocking container and use it up within 1\u20132 months as a guide. Refrigerated storage is also possible, but take care of condensation just after taking it out, and return it to room temperature before opening.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h3
