From Seed to Supplement: How we create Pure Greens
At FOUND, every step of our process is designed with one goal in mind: to deliver the purest, most effective nutrition. From planting seeds to packaging our greens into powder or tablets, every detail is handled with care and precision. Here’s a closer look at how we grow, harvest, and prepare our products to bring you the very best in natural health.
Seeding and Growing: Where It All Begins
The journey starts with microgreens, tiny plants harvested at their peak nutrient density. Our seeds are carefully sown into nutrient-rich soil or hydroponic trays on our family farm in the UK. This process is handled with precision to ensure optimal growth conditions, including the right balance of light, water, and temperature.
Microgreens are unique in their lifecycle; they are harvested when they’re only a few inches tall, a stage when their concentration of vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial nutrients is at its highest. This early harvest is what makes them so powerful compared to mature vegetables.
Harvesting at Peak Potency
When the microgreens reach their ideal growth stage, we harvest them with care. Timing is crucial; each crop is carefully monitored to ensure it’s picked when it offers the maximum nutritional benefits.
Harvesting is done delicately to maintain the integrity of the greens, which are then transported immediately to our processing area to begin the preservation process.
Freeze-Drying: Preserving Nutrient Power
To ensure that our microgreens retain their full nutritional profile, we use a freeze-drying method. Unlike traditional drying processes that rely on heat and can degrade nutrients, freeze-drying removes moisture while preserving up to 98% of the microgreens’ vitamins, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.
This method locks in the natural potency of the microgreens, ensuring that every batch delivers the same benefits as the fresh greens straight from the farm.
Processing: From Greens to Powder and Tablets
After freeze-drying, the microgreens are processed into two versatile formats: powder and tablets. The powder is finely milled to create a smooth, nutrient-rich product that can be easily mixed into smoothies, yoghurt, or water.
For those who prefer a more convenient option, the greens powder is compressed into tablets. These are perfect for on-the-go use, providing the same powerful nutrients in a quick and effortless format.
Packaging: Sealing in Freshness
Once the greens are transformed into powder or tablets, they’re packaged with care to maintain their freshness and quality. We use eco-friendly, minimal packaging to reduce waste while ensuring the product reaches you in perfect condition.
Every package of Pure Greens is labelled with transparency, so you know exactly what you’re getting - 16 nutrient-dense microgreens, 2 adaptogens, and nothing else. The orders are then shipped directly from our farm to your door.
At FOUND, we grow 16 of the 18 ingredients in Pure Greens on our family farm, giving us complete control over the quality and transparency of our process. From planting the seeds to shipping the final product, every step reflects our commitment to purity and honesty.
This hands-on approach ensures that every serving of Pure Greens delivers the nutrients you need in the most effective and natural way possible. It’s not just a supplement - it’s a solution, created to support your health and help you thrive.
