Question
A new development of a vegetable called Wanna Greens has been released, marketed only in the Delicatessen network. The GreenOnyx company grows it in an urban farm. I wanted to inquire if there could be a kashrut issue with it. (It does not have a hechsher) and whether terumot and ma'aserot need to be separated?
Answer
Hello
There is no kashrut issue with the vegetable, except for the obligation of separating terumot and ma'aserot.
However, as long as the nature of the vegetable and how it is grown are unknown, one should not bless the separation.
[If you have details about the nature of the vegetable and the method of cultivation, you can send again and I will try to clarify the law of blessing on the separation].
