Getting your ingredients right and straight of the farm can enhance the taste of that salad that you are planning to rustle up by several folds. Also, what if artificial intelligence could be used in growing the freshest vegetables? That’s where, city-based Simply Fresh India, comes in! The exotic vegetables here are grown with ample aid from hydroponic technology, AI and also several other sustainable methods. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that the farm is digitally controlled by an AI Platform called Farm in A Box, which determines and detects climate conditions and requirements for the produce. The salad raw material available ranges from lettuces, vine crops, leafy greens, microgreens, and fresh herbs. 

Sachin Darbarwar, the founder and his wife Shweta, who is the co-founder have shared salad recipes that can be made at home from their fresh produce. Do check it out.
