Did You Know?
Really cool stuff!
-
Our certified organic acerola cherries come from eco-friendly small plot farms of 5 to 10 acres in size.
-
Heritage apple varieties have been around for millennia, evolving naturally - not through human manipulation.
-
Our super-potent fennel sprouts are sprouted from heritage seeds that have not been subject to commercial hybridization. Heritage seeds typically have higher nutritional values than hybridized seeds.
-
Our certified organic lemons are grown on family-owned organic farms without any chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
-
Our rare manuka honey comes from New Zealand. Hives are placed in the wilds of indigenous manuka groves where the manuka bush blooms just six weeks of the year.
-
Chlorophyll is the ingredient responsible for the green pigment that gives algae, grasses and select vegetables their vibrant color.
-
Carefully monitored during the growing process, our acerola cherries are handpicked when the color reveals their peak vitamin C content.
-
Our certified organic grasses are harvested from a high desert environment and are sown in both early spring and late autumn.
-
Like some animals, mushrooms are built from chitin. As a result, mushrooms are unique in that they are neither animal nor plant but are placed in the fungi kingdom.
-
Our wild cultivar fruits and berries have not been commercially hybridized for “sweetness” and “juiciness”— they maintain the original phytonutrient profiles nature intended.
-
Our certified organic spirulina grows in dedicated ponds as it is not uncommon for other algae to be mixed in with spirulina when harvested.
- Our special cold-milling process breaks down the chitinous fibers in the soft cell walls of the mushroom mycelia to make them fully digestible.
- Our grass juices dry as mist drifting down through CO2 in a 100-foot tower at 35o F. No heat. No oxygen.
- All of the raw-food sprouts used by Futurebiotics are grown from certified organic, high-quality seeds that are hand-picked with a high germination rate.
- Meticulous cold processing and careful handling helps preserve 100% of the natural antioxidants and inherent phytochemicals of our super fruits.
- The colorful apple peel not only protects the apple, it also provides 95% of the apple’s key phytonutrients such as polyphenols and flavonoids.
- Freeze-drying an herb consists of removing the ice crystals (water) from the herb, in a vacuum, after it is flash-frozen.
- In order to help greatly reduce bacterial contamination, our certified organic herbs are grown using special nutrient-rich compost that is free of animal manure.
- Our certified organic manuka honey is tested and verified to possess and provide the same antiseptic properties as a 15% phenol solution.
- Our sprout seeds are allowed to sprout only for a few days – just enough for the seed to sprout – but before the green leaf emerges.
- Vacuum drying uses little heat and is a better, completely additive-free process compared to spray drying.
- Our juices – grass, vegetable, fruit – contain absolutely no additives or carriers such as maltodextrin.
