Microgreens are a nutritional game-changer
Scientifically proven to have up to 40 times more nutritional power than mature fresh vegetables,
It makes sense that they are part of your health journey


Little Wonders
These tiny green wonders are harvested when they are just a few days old. At this young stage they accumulate an extraordinary arsenal of nutrients needed to protect and stimulate their growth to maturity. They are bursting with life.
We add to their remarkable vitality by giving them the optimal environment and care to thrive. Our microgreens are grown in a vertical indoor farm where each microgreen tray is individually watered and monitored. No need for pesticides or petrochemical fertilisers. We let nature do its magic.

MIGHTY HEALERS
Repair cells from oxidative stress
Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage the DNA inside cells and play a key role in a range of diseases and aging. Anti-oxidants found in fruit and vegetables neutralise free radicals.
FACT: Microgreens like broccoli, radish, cabbage, chia, kale, and beetroot have 10 times more antioxidant capacity than their mature counterparts.

MIGHTY HEALERS
Calm and anti-anxiety
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) is the brain’s main inhibitory (“calming”) neurotransmitter, helping regulate neuron activity, reducing anxiety, and supports relaxation and sleep.
FACT: Chia microgreens have 11 times more GABA content than seeds, making it one of the highest natural sources of this critical compound.

MIGHTY HEALERS
The green cancer killer
Broccoli microgreens are packed with glucosinolates which when eaten, convert to Sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is scientifically proven to be one of the most powerful natural inhibitors and killers of cancer cells.
FACT: Broccoli microgreens have 4-5 times more glucosinolates than mature broccoli.

MIGHTY HEALERS
Build muscle and bone
Protein is essential for increasing muscle mass and improving bone density. It’s one of your body’s key building blocks. It is also known to reduces cravings and desire for late-night snacking.
FACT: Pea and lentil microgreens have close to 50% protein content – 3 times more than their cooked versions.

MIGHTY HEALERS
Cardio health
Anthocyanins are flavonoid antioxidants that improve cardiovascular function by helping blood vessels relax and improves cholesterol balance. It also enhances nitric oxide bioavailability which is key to lower blood pressure.
FACT: Red Cabbage microgreens have the unusually combination of high concentrations of both anthocyanins and nitrates (precursor to nitric oxide).


Our Story
Sprout About began as a deeply personal journey. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I searched for foods that could truly support my return to health. Time and again, my research led me to microgreens — small in size but unmatched in nutritional power. Pure, pesticide-free, and grown without synthetic fertilizers, they became central to my healing and daily life.
What started as a personal experiment soon became a passion. After three decades in the IT industry, I made the life-changing decision to step away and dedicate myself to cultivating these remarkable plants and sharing their benefits with others.
Sprout About is more than a business. It’s a story of resilience, science, and the belief that nature, when respected and understood, can powerfully support human health.
