Climate-friendly
Blumau vegetables
Blumau vegetables are exclusively available at SPAR.
Growing fresh vegetables all year round in a climate-friendly way – that was the vision from day one! And in a resource-saving way that respects Nature’s cycle. Frutura has been using thermal water from 3,500 meters below Bad Blumau as an energy source since 2016.
It is pumped to the surface at 125oC where it serves 26 hectares of glasshouses and tunnels in which up to 9,000 tons of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, melanzani, mushrooms and radishes grow each year in cosy warmth. The water is then cooled and pumped back down to a depth of 3,500 meters. Not a drop of water is lost throughout! The results of this international flagship
project are not only year-round fresh products of the highest AMA-GAP and organic quality. The tomatoes and peppers from Frutura Thermal-Gemüsewelt are also considered to be the tastiest in Austria. Frutura’s innovation moreover secures jobs all year round. Last but not least, the climate is protected as much as possible and regional supply is guaranteed.
Blumauer Tomatoes
In my large family of tomatoes, I am the one with the best acid-sugar balance. I am happy when I am eaten quickly, because only then can I best develop my flavour in salads or other cold dishes.
SPAR NATUR*PUR Blumau Organic Cherry-Tomatoes
We are the sweetest in the family and grow together on the truss; deep red with soft skin and the same inside. Aficionados consider us an insider tip for outstanding taste. Besides that, we are organically grown.
SPAR PREMIUM Blumau Cherry Tomatoes
We are the snack emperors! This because we are especially sweet little beauties. Our skin shines wonderfully, and it’s even said that many people prefer to snack on us than on chocolate. Now, that’s an honour! Finally though, we only contain 17 kcl/100 grams and are rich in vitamins, potassium, magnesium and folic acid.
SPAR PREMIUM Blumauer panicle tomatoes
Amongst the “big ones”, we are the kings of taste and the most intensely coloured. We feel most comfortable when we are allowed to shine in salads or sauces. We also have a good shelf life!
Blumau Pointed Pepper
Mix
We are the Blumau pointed pepper mix from the Frutura Thermal Vegetable World – and we bring colour, flavour and sustainability to your plate. We grow the red, yellow and orange varieties under ideal conditions in our modern greenhouses – conserving resources thanks to the natural warmth of the thermal water.
To keep us fresh and crisp, the following applies: 10-12 °C is our feel-good climate, do not wash before storage – this protects our natural skin and do not store next to tomatoes – we prefer distance.
Blumau Pointed Pepper
Chocolony
Fancy something a little more unusual? We are the Blumauer Paprika Chocolony – a pepper variety with a chocolate-brown colour and a particularly sweet taste. Our look is unusual, our flavour unique – even sweeter than our yellow, red or orange relatives. We also thrive in the Frutura Thermal Vegetable World, under the best conditions and with sustained warmth from the depths of the earth.
SPAR NATUR*PUR Blumau Organic cucumbers
Mix
We only taste so good because we are freshly harvested every day! We are a bit capricious when it comes to storage. We reward though with a crispy peel, which should also be eaten since it contains many vitamins and minerals – one of our organic benefits. Never store us next to tomatoes, apples or pears, or our peel will soon look wrinkled. We like it dark and don’t want to be washed.
SPAR NATUR*PUR Blumau Organic Melanzani
Chocolony
Roast, steam, bake, but best of all: grill us! We add the final healthy touch to your dishes. With skin of course, because we are organic. But like all our Frutura Thermal-Gemüsewelt relatives you should store us at ten to twelve degrees Celsius. We will then keep our taut, matt shiny colour and last up to ten days.
SPAR NATUR*PUR Blumau Bio Radish
We are the winter vegetable in the Frutura family. We only last a short time, but we are the highlight on every sandwich or in salads in terms of color and taste. Do not hesitate to eat our green leaves, they are tasty and healthy.
We only have one request: Eat us right away, we don’t like lying around. But if we had to wait a little longer and our bowl got a bit wrinkled, just put us in the water for a moment, then we can recover.
We don’t taste as hot as some other radishes, which is why children especially love us.
