Blobfish

Spinach Blobfish F1 — an early hybrid developed by Rijk Zwaan (Netherlands), suitable for cultivation in open and protected soil. The vegetation period is 35-45 days, allowing its use in both spring and autumn cycles. The plant features rapid growth, high adaptability, and resistance to stressful conditions, along with strong immunity to diseases such as downy mildew and stemphylliosis. Due to these qualities, this variety is ideal for agroclimatic conditions in Ukraine and other regions with similar climates.

Spinach Blobfish forms a rosette of uniform, smooth, dark green oval leaves, 20-30 cm long, resembling sorrel in appearance. The leaves are soft and light-salad green, making them particularly attractive for use in salads and fresh applications. The greens are highly nutritious, containing significant reserves of potassium, iron, magnesium, and fiber, positively affecting hormonal balance and digestive tract function. The product is intended for fresh marketing (as bunches or in baby leaf format) and processing, while maintaining freshness for an extended period, especially in vacuum packaging.

This spinach hybrid boasts high yield potential and long storage duration without loss of quality. It is resistant to major pathogens, reducing the need for intensive plant protection. Due to its characteristics and wide application versatility, Spinach Blobfish F1 is a promising choice for farmers and producers targeting fresh markets and greenery processing.
