Dutch fruit and vegetable breeding company Rijk Zwaan submitted three products to the International Taste Institute (ITQI) this year. All three have been awarded the maximum 3-star Superior Taste Award!
The winning products include Tropical Watermelon, Sweet Palermo mix, and Crunchy Snack Lettuce. Tropical Watermelon is described as a seedless watermelon featuring yellow flesh and a summery sweet taste. The Sweet Palermo mix consists of pointed peppers known for their particularly sweet taste and is available in four different colors. This mix continues Rijk Zwaan's winning streak from previous years, as recognized by the ITQI award. Lastly, the Crunchy Snack Lettuce offers a crunchy texture and fresh, full flavor, making it a standout among the winning products.
"For Rijk Zwaan, this award is a clear sign that our breeding programmes aimed at distinctive taste and quality are producing effective results," the company said in a statement.
