Calafine is a lettuce variety developed by Bejo Zaden. It belongs to early-maturing varieties, ripening in 65-70 days. Seedlings can be planted in early or late spring, and harvesting takes place from June to September. The lettuce leaves have a rich red color, and the variety is resistant to bolting, making it convenient for cultivation and harvesting. Calafine is intended for fresh consumption and retail sale of fresh vegetables.
The chicory, from which Calafine beverage is made, is rich in beneficial substances such as inulin, glycosides, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. These components provide the beverage with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, calming, stimulating, and strengthening effects. Regular consumption helps normalize metabolism, strengthen heart function, and improve appetite.
Calafine chicory-based beverage is widely used for preventive purposes in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastritis, stomach ulcers, and liver cirrhosis. Thanks to its beneficial properties, it helps maintain general health and improve well-being, making it a valuable product for daily consumption.
