Starting on 15 October, we will be launching a “solidarity experiment” in the Gymzaal with the aim of making healthy vegetables affordable for everyone. Read more about this further on in the email.

And included in the package is Tong Ho! Tong Ho is both a herbal remedy and a vegetable, good for stir-frying, for example. Tong Ho is an edible chrysanthemum very suited for stir frying, which closely resembles the leafy part of the ornamental variety. Don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8pm, if needed. Enjoy!

News items

  • Experiment ‘solidarity’: Lekkernassûh is working on a fair and sustainable food chain. This includes making our healthy vegetables affordable for everyone in The Hague. That is why we start a new experiment ‘solidarity’ at location The Gym on October 15. How does it work? At the checkout you find small cards. One side it says: ‘Solidarity, I donate €2.50’. The other side says ‘Solidarity, I would like to receive a €2.50 discount’. As a participant, you can take this card at the checkout and show the side that suits your situation. You will show the donation side if you are willing to pay extra to allow for a discount for another person. The receiving side will show you when you need it because you’re falling short. We test this in the Gym from October 15 th until November 19 th . After this period we evaluate this experiment and decide about the next steps. Would you like to read more about the project and how you can contribute even more? Then read our blog.
