Toshiba tested fresh vegetables without washing them before eating

Toshiba is a corporation with over 100 years of age, and they not only work in the field of consumer electronics as we often know but also offer many health care solutions.

In addition to home or hospital solutions, Toshiba even experimented with lettuce and lettuce growing in an old factory about 60km from Tokyo to provide a more comprehensive solution.

 

Not only that, this experimental vegetable cultivation also takes advantage of the many technologies that Toshiba is applying in other industries, from lighting, water purification, electricity generation to electronic devices that they We are familiar with tablet control .

Why is Toshiba testing such a clean room ? That's because they will be able to control all the factors that affect crops such as air pressure, temperature, light, bacteria or even dust. Consequently, we have plants that do not need pesticides, no pests and do not need to wash before eating.

Toshiba expects this factory to bring about $ 10 million in revenue this year and will export solutions to countries that are difficult to grow outdoor plants such as the Middle East or Russia. Before Toshiba, other large Japanese corporations such as Fujitsu also looked at lettuce in the old semiconductor factory, Sharp's strawberry plantation in Dubai or the former Sony plant turned into a test site for more beta carotene.

In addition to the above vegetables, Toshiba also tried many other plants and even herbs.
