cells and have antioxidant effect
Trolox equivalent: Measured using the DPPH method
(method used to measure the antioxidant strength)
Growing by the Faculty of Agriculture of Kochi University, Analysis
by Japan Food Hygiene Association
With EHW, leaves are longer and there is more plant volume
above and below the ground. The amount of antioxidants
increased, too.
