Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a first-generation hybrid (F1). A key feature is the high uniformity of the plants, which ensures a more concentrated harvest compared to landrace varieties.

The plant is used both for consuming the inflorescences as food and in the pharmaceutical industry due to the study of polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in the leaves. Detailed data on immunity, precise morphological parameters, and the origin of the variety are absent in open publications.
