ABOUT US

Green Essence was born thanks to Manuel Brasini and his idea of ​​symbiosis between man and the earth. In the heart of Magliano, in the Tuscan Maremma, a "Micro-vegetable is born for the first time: young and fragile, but with a powerful soul. An extraordinary concentration of energy, flavor and nourishment for your well-being and your creativity in the kitchen."​
Our mission is to bring the best of nature directly into the hands of chefs and cooking enthusiasts but not only, perfect for those who want to consume them for their healthy well-being, offering a product that not only elevates the presentation, but adds a touch of concentrated nutrition to every recipe.
We believe that beauty lies in the details and our microgreens are proof of this.

WHAT ARE THEY?

They are small, newly sprouted plants obtained from the seeds of vegetables, aromatic herbs or other edible plants: they are harvested while still very young, usually 1 or 2 weeks after sowing, when they have reached a size that varies from about 2 to 7 centimetres.

They are characterised by tender and thin leaves, with intense colours and a concentrated flavour that often recalls that of the adult plant from which they come. They can vary considerably in terms of shape and colour, depending on the species of plant.

These sprouts are appreciated for their high concentration of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Their nutritional value is significantly higher than that of the adult vegetable.

They are often used as a garnish in gourmet dishes: added to salads, sandwiches, soups or smoothies to enrich their flavour, improve their nutritional value and promote healthy eating
