01

BroccoCress®

Mild, slightly bitter young broccoli.

A clean, green note that works across smoothies and savoury serves without overpowering other ingredients.

  • Naturally contains glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane.
  • Provides vitamin C and plant polyphenols.
  • Human research shows sulforaphane can be absorbed after eating broccoli micro herbs, although absorption varies.
The science

Broccoli micro herbs are among the better-studied young greens. Their glucoraphanin can be converted into sulforaphane, a plant compound studied for antioxidant and cell-protective activity.

  • Glucoraphanin
  • Sulforaphane
  • Vitamin C
  • Polyphenols

Evidence note: Direct human evidence is promising but still limited to small studies; this is nutritional context, not a treatment claim.

Pairs with

  • Smoked fish
  • Stir-fries
  • Sandwiches

02

Wheatgrass

Sweet, grassy and alkalising.

Cut fresh and pressed within minutes — a classic base for concentrated wellness serves.

  • Contains chlorophyll and naturally occurring antioxidant compounds.
  • Provides vitamin C, vitamin E, minerals and plant polyphenols.
  • Laboratory studies show antioxidant activity in wheatgrass extracts.
The science

Wheatgrass is nutrient-dense, with chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and phenolic compounds. Most evidence for its antioxidant activity comes from laboratory and animal research rather than large human trials.

  • Chlorophyll
  • Flavonoids
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E

Evidence note: Fresh wheatgrass, juice and powders are not interchangeable in research; well-controlled human studies remain limited.

03

Chilli Cress

Hot, radishy and spicy.

A gentle lift of warmth that gives refreshers and savoury plates definition.

  • Mustard-family cresses are natural sources of glucosinolates.
  • Typically provide vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds.
  • Its peppery flavour adds intensity without relying on extra sugar or salt.
The science

Chilli Cress is described as a mustard-like cress rather than a chilli pepper. Its nutritional story therefore aligns with Brassica-family glucosinolates, not capsaicin.

  • Glucosinolates
  • Vitamin C
  • Polyphenols

Evidence note: Research specific to the branded cress is scarce, so these points reflect the wider Brassica micro herb evidence base.

Pairs with

Macro photograph of Chia Cress

04

Chia Cress

Mild, nutty greens with a fresh finish.

Delicate texture and a soft nutty finish — ideal as a visible garnish at the wellness bar.

  • Chia seed is known for plant omega-3 ALA, fibre and minerals.
  • Sprouting creates a fresh green with delicate texture and plant compounds.
  • A simple way to add variety, flavour and visual freshness to a serve.
The science

Chia seed has been widely studied for ALA omega-3, fibre, minerals and polyphenols. Research directly measuring these compounds or health outcomes in fresh chia cress is not yet established.

  • ALA omega-3
  • Fibre
  • Calcium
  • Polyphenols

Evidence note: The available human evidence relates mainly to chia seed, not the young cress, so no seed-level benefit is implied for this serving.
