Rijtak neemt de EIWIT CHAMP publieksprijs mee naar huis

Rijtak takes home the EIWIT CHAMP audience award

"Rijtak is a family business that has been growing tomatoes and peppers in Sint-Katelijne-Waver for many years. Until son Jannes lost his heart to Spirulina. This microscopic algae can be grown in a closed circuit based on water and CO2. Sprirulina powder contains up to 60% proteins, omega3 and omega6, and is rich in vitamins and minerals. The family is now also committed to this innovative cultivation and wants to contribute to the protein shift with this superfood from Flemish soil." - nextfoodchain.be

We can proudly share that the audience award of the Protein Festival 2023 is ours! This is due to our innovative production of Spirulina. Winning the audience award confirms that our efforts to provide healthy and sustainable nutritional supplements are appreciated. EIWIT festival - audience award
