Freeze-drying

Freeze-dried microgreens powder

Freeze-dried microgreens powder is made from whole young plants that have had their water removed in the cold and are then ground. It is a food in powder form, not an extract: you take it stirred into water. Freeze-drying retains more than 95% of the nutritional value. In SYNERGIC, the cold also preserves the glucoraphanin and myrosinase of the microgreens: when you mix the powder with water, they form sulforaphane.

Freeze-drying process

The process

How it is made

Flash freezing

Flash freezing

The fresh product is flash-frozen at a very low temperature.
This step sets the cellular structure and prevents the degradation of vitamins, enzymes, and sensitive compounds.
It is the basis for high-quality preservation.
Preserve from the very first second
Vacuum sublimation

Vacuum sublimation

Under a vacuum, frozen water passes directly from ice to vapor.
There is no liquid phase, no cooking, and no significant nutritional loss.
This is how the integrity of the food and its original profile are preserved.
Remove water without heat
Stability and purity

Stability and purity

Residual moisture is removed to very low levels.
The result is a stable, preservative-free ingredient with a high concentration of nutrients and a long shelf life.
Lightweight, stable, focused

Why in the cold

Why microgreens are freeze-dried

Sulforaphane is not in the plant as such. It forms when glucoraphanin meets myrosinase, an enzyme that heat deactivates. That is why cooking broccoli greatly reduces the sulforaphane that can form.

Freeze-drying removes the water without heat. The glucoraphanin and myrosinase in the microgreens stay dormant until you mix the powder with water. Then they meet and form sulforaphane in your glass: 10 mg per 1 g dose, measured in an accredited laboratory. See the analyses

Easy to use

How to take it

Stir 1 g of SYNERGIC into a glass of water or a low-acid smoothie. Wait 2 minutes, then drink within 10 minutes. Those 2 minutes are the time sulforaphane needs to form.

What preserves and what is not

Preserve, do not transform.

What it preserves

What it preserves

Freeze-drying works at low temperature and without liquid water. This limits the degradation of heat-sensitive vitamins, of myrosinase, the enzyme that forms sulforaphane, and of the other plant compounds in the five microgreens: polyphenols and other glucosinolates. The food matrix stays whole.
Heatless preservation
What it is not

What it is not

Freeze-drying is not an extraction process. It does not create nutrients or transform the food: it preserves what is already there, without reformulating it.
It does not transform, it preserves

Any questions?We have answers.

How does freeze-drying work?

Freeze-drying removes water from food without heat. The microgreens are first rapidly frozen at –40 °C. Then, under vacuum, the ice turns directly into vapour without passing through a liquid phase. The water is removed; the nutrients remain.

The result is a stable powder, free from preservatives and additives, that preserves more than 95% of the nutritional value of fresh microgreens.

Is a freeze-dried product an extract or a concentrate?

No. A freeze-dried product is the whole food with the water removed. No specific compounds are isolated or concentrated. When the water is removed, the volume shrinks and, weight for weight, the nutrients are much more densely present.

Does freeze-drying change the nutritional value of microgreens?

It does not create or modify it. Its function is to preserve, as much as possible, the natural profile of the food as it exists in the fresh microgreen.

Is 1 g per day enough?

It may seem small. But microgreens are naturally highly concentrated in phytonutrients, and freeze-drying removes only the water, not the compounds themselves.

What remains is the whole plant, with its phytonutrient matrix intact, concentrated through freeze-drying.

One gram of SYNERGIC provides 10 mg of sulforaphane. By our calculation, you would need about 640 g of raw broccoli to get the same amount.
