Core offering

Fuji Foods Corporation manufactures and sells 100% pesticide-free bean sprouts (mung bean, black bean, and soybean sprouts) in both small consumer packs (150g–200g) and large food-service packs (2kg–4kg), along with a line of pre-cut vegetables including salads, cup salads, stir-fry mixes, and microwave-ready vegetables. Production uses a proprietary Mineral Farming method based on soil analysis, natural spring water from the Nikko mountains, computer-controlled cultivation environments, and an in-house composting system that converts vegetable waste into fully matured compost in 25 days.
