Pure Food Norway: Unlocking the full potential of broccoli sprouts
At Pure Food Norway, we specialize in creating nutrient-rich powders by using whole broccoli sprouts and employing advanced freeze-drying technology. Partnering with Norske Spirer, a pioneer with decades of expertise in sprouting, this approach ensures the natural integrity of the sprouts without relying on ethanol extraction or additives.
