1. Mild Taste

BeMicro’s Broccoli Booster has a subtle flavor that easily blends into any meal, like mac n cheese or a PB&J, making it perfect for picky eaters. It’s a simple way to get more vegetables into your child's diet without them noticing. Teach your kids that eating healthy doesn't have to taste bad!

2. Small Serving Size

With its natural concentration of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, just 2 teaspoons of Broccoli Booster is all you need to supercharge your kids' meals. No more veggie negotiations—just effortless nutrition that goes unnoticed! Plus, its compact serving size means you can easily incorporate it into any dish without changing the taste or texture.

"I struggle with getting enough vegetables into my kids’ diet. The broccoli microgreens make it so much easier - I add them to fruit smoothies, protein shakes, egg scrambles, baked potatoes, etc. The kids can’t really taste them, so they don’t mind. My 16 year old adds them herself because they make her yogurt parfaits and avocado toast creations look cooler in her social media posts (LOL - hey, whatever it takes!) My youngest has issues with joint inflammation, and I do think she feels better when we’re consistent about adding these into her diet."

Say goodbye to wasted greens! Our Broccoli Booster is freeze-dried to lock in nutrients and extend their shelf life from one week fresh to one year freeze-dried. No more spoiled veggies taking up space in the fridge. Plus, it’s ready whenever you are, ensuring you always have a healthy option on hand.

4. Nutrient Dense

Broccoli microgreens are full of essential vitamins, minerals, and a special antioxidant called Sulforaphane—found only in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts. This powerful nutrient helps support your family's overall health and well-being, making it an easy choice for boosting daily nutrition.

How should I best utilize the Boosters?

Is it safe for my dog to consume Boosters?

What exactly does "freeze-dried microgreens" mean?

Microgreens refer to young vegetables, roughly 14 days old, which are a tad older than typical sprouts. It's during this growth phase that they're richest in essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. By freeze-drying them, we effectively extract the water while preserving this rich nutrient profile. Learn more from our blog on freeze-drying!

Does the freeze-drying process diminish the nutritional value of the fresh greens?

Not at all! Scientific consensus indicates that only a negligible amount of nutrients are lost through freeze-drying.

In our freeze-drying procedure, we strictly avoid any additives or preservatives. This guarantees a product with prolonged shelf life that retains its nutritional value and has a flavor reminiscent of fresh microgreens.

What's the shelf life of Boosters?

Once opened, our product remains fresh for up to a year. However, given its benefits and taste, you're likely to use it up well before then!

What's the recommended storage method for Boosters?

It's best to keep them in a cool, shaded location. Ensure the lid is securely fastened to maintain their freshness.

Is daily consumption of BeMicro's Boosters recommended?

For optimal benefits from your microgreens, it's advisable to incorporate them into your daily regimen, much like any other healthful habit.
