The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
A renowned specialty vegetable grower based in Ohio, The Chef’s Garden has been producing exquisite vegetables, herbs, microgreens and edible flowers for the world’s top chefs and restaurants for more than 30 years. Innovation is a guiding principle, and its team is continually developing new produce sizes, colours, textures, and flavours to delight the senses and give discriminating chefs exactly what they require.
Sollum Technologies is helping The Chef’s Garden maintain its edge. According to CEO Bob Jones Jr.: “Sollum Technologies’ lighting solution makes it easier for us to supply culinary artists with extraordinary vegetables. Our seedlings grow faster, are more beautiful, taste better and, importantly, retain their quality for a much longer time.”
In an earlier study conducted by The Chef’s Garden, lettuce grown under Sollum lights took an average of 28 days to achieve target mass compared to 35 to 40 days for lettuce grown in a regular greenhouse.
Sollum’s programmable smart lighting solution also enables The Chef’s Garden to make precise adjustments to lighting to achieve specific objectives. We recently partnered with their research and development team to test the possibilities.
One experiment studied the effect of light spectra on the growth and flavour profile of basil, green lettuce, red lettuce and radishes, comparing the balanced spectrum provided by Sollum lights with a competitor’s LED lighting system, which provides more red and far-red (FR) light. Among the key findings:
The second study experimented with adding blue and far-red light to red-pigmented lettuces a few days before harvest to see if growers could delay anthocyanin accumulation until the end of the production cycle. While anthocyanin provides valuable protection for plants, it also slows photosynthesis in some crops. With the right light recipe, a grower could hypothetically accelerate a plant’s growth and then promote anthocyanin accumulation in the last few days – which would also deliver health benefits to consumers because anthocyanin is an antioxidant.
The study confirmed that the lettuce grew faster with the addition of far-red light, but at the expense of anthocyanin accumulation. It also found that by adding blue light at the end of the cycle, you can increase anthocyanin accumulation.
“These results show how different light recipes can be used at different stages of the lettuce growth cycle to achieve desired characteristics and optimize growth,” says Rose Séguin, a Sollum Technologies agronomist. “The next step will be to explore far-red’s effect on leaf thickness and lettuce body as the lettuces need to hold up to garnishes and dressings.”
“There as so many possibilities with Sollum’s lighting solution. We’re pleased to be able to test them with a grower whose imagination and dedication to quality are second to none.”
