Our Story
The founder of Green Sun Microgreens is Rob Lamberton. Rob is an FNTP – Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a formulator of practitioner grade nutritional supplements
Working with clients over the years, he came to realize that many health issues developed as a result of poor diets/nutrient deficiencies
After his incredible personal experiences of health optimization as a result of incorporating Microgreens super foods into his diet he decided to start a business to share these powerful foods with not only his clients but also the general public
What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) tall.
They have an aromatic flavor and concentrated nutrient content and come in a variety of colors and textures
Microgreens are considered baby plants, falling somewhere between a sprout and baby green.
Microgreens have been shown to provide approximately 40 times the nutrients that you can typically get in full grown vegetables – Microgreens truly are superfoods.

How to Maximize the Health Benefits of Microgreens
To reap the health benefits of microgreens, eat them immediately after harvest – this way you are eating live food. Microgreens like most other superfoods that are consumed fresh begin to lose their nutritional value rapidly after harvest
