Capri salad is a new type of legume derived salad leaf that has a high yield, short cropping cycle, and high phytonutrient properties. This purpose of this project was to commercialise the product for the Australian pre-packaged salad market. The key activities undertaken included developing and documenting commercial agronomic, postharvest, supply chain, and brand usage protocols. An important aspect of the project was to test and validate nutritional data to support general and high-level health claims. The key outcome is a commercial ready product that can be licensed to any grower in Australia and internationally.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
