Kangkung is a fast-growing vegetable that is usually stir-fried with chilli and garlic. It is an excellent source of fibre, which makes it a great choice for the attainment of Singapore’s food security target: 20% of our fibre needs (e.g. leafy and fruity vegetables) will be produced locally by 2035.

Xiao bai cai (bok choy) contains
Vitamin B6 and folic acid, which are associated with improving the heart. When we exercise, our heart pumps faster so that the blood can transport more
oxygen and digested food to all parts of the body, thus giving us more energy for exercise. So, improving our heart health leads to a healthier life!

Cai Xin contains Calcium and Potassium, which is essential for bone health. Strong bones will help us maintain an active lifestyle.

Brazilian spinach retains its nutrients, even after cooking, so it is a useful ingredient for raw and cooked dishes alike.

These four vegetables are grown the aeroponics way. This means that the plant roots dangle freely in the air instead of being covered with soil. A water pump will deliver nutrients through nozzles that creates a fine mist that cover the roots.

Another additional source of nutrients is the fish waste from red tilapia. Red tilapia is used for our Integrated Farming System because it is cheap to rear (the fish feed is cheap) and grows fast and can be sold for a good price eventually.[1]
