The vegetabo crayons originated in Aomori prefecture which is in the northern most part of the main island of Japan. Aomori has an abundance of high-quality of vegetables. The people of Aomori wanted to find a way to advertise their home in a unique way and they did found a way to do that through making crayons out of their high quality vegetables.

The Vegetabo crayons are made from actual vegetables of Aomori prefecture. Not only are they made from the vegetables, but each crayon is in the exact color of the corresponding vegetable. The makers of the brand initially had trouble creating powder out of each vegetable, but after various attempts, the company eventually managed to make fine colored powder out of the vegetables. The great thing about the vegetable crayons is that they are made out of not any vegetable, but the ones that the farms could not sell as products as they were deformed or slightly bruised. In other words, Vegetabo crayons help to recycle vegetables that would have otherwise gone to waste.

The Vegetabo crayons are made from the colored powder and rice wax. This wax is a substance that is a byproduct of cleaning rice. With the rice wax and the vegetable powder, Vegetabo crayons are super smooth to draw with and makes Vegetabo a safe image unlike any normal crayons made from the standard materials.
