Most sprouts are true Superfoods!
They are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, and essential amino acids, thus contributing to maintaining health, cell renewal, and rapid energy replenishment. Thanks to their high protein content, they are excellent supplements for vegetarian and vegan diets. Their flavor profile is diverse, so they can be used with almost any dish. Sprouts are not only nutritious but also provide a true gastronomic experience.
"In the European Union – and thus in our country as well – agricultural products, the food products made from them, and animal feeds can only be marketed with an ecological (eco, organic, biological, organic) label if they have been produced in compliance with the relevant community and national regulations, under the supervision of a control system operating under state authority, and have certification for this (in Hungary, a certificate)." Biokontroll Hungária Nonprofit Kft.
Using hydroponic technology, we cultivate various grain and vegetable seed sprouts, shoots, and microgreens in 4 different ways. During sprouting, we do not use soil; every product is made exclusively using water. Production takes place in a completely closed environment within the facility to ensure hygienic requirements are met. The complete traceability of the entire production process of foods back to raw material procurement is particularly important in case this is needed due to any problems.
Most sprout cultivation occurs in a special rotating drum developed specifically for this purpose. We cultivate our microgreen products on tray stands over more than 100 square meters. The production of our mung bean sprouts requires special conditions, so we purchased new technology specifically for this purpose – unique in Hungary.
The hygienic cleaning of sprouts is ensured by special sprout washing equipment. Packaging is done professionally, mainly by hand, to preserve quality.

Brief description of the project content: As part of this development, we implemented the acquisition of new, unique green sprout production technologies to create a more competitive operational environment. With sprouting machines, high-quality, large quantities of sprouts can be produced efficiently and economically, even in relatively small spaces. The development consisted of two parts: on one hand, the expansion of the existing general sprouting technology with a rotating drum sprouter, and on the other hand, the installation of a complex mung bean sprouting system. Both machines are custom-made, as different production technological conditions are required for the variety of sprouts in the product range, and they were designed based on specifications that best meet our company's manufacturing needs and professional requirements.
