Ashitaba (Angelica Keiskei Koidzumi)

Ashitaba means “tomorrow’s leaf” in Japanese, because after the leaf breaks off, a new one sprouts the next day. The inhabitants of Hachijo Island have been famous for their longevity since Edo. They rarely suffered from diseases such as cancer, blood pressure, stroke, myocardial infarction, and Alzheimer's disease. It was later revealed that locals eat raw ashitaba every day. Today, this unique plant is considered the treasure trove of Hachijo Island and the king of vegetables.

Ashitaba is a rich source of important vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Japanese scientists have found that its yellow juice has valuable carcinostatic, antithrombotic and ulcer-preventive properties. When ripe, these plants improve cell health and help fight aging and age-related diseases.
