ABOUT BETTER GREENS
Meet Amanda
In 2025, Amanda took over the reins from Jo and Glenn, answering an irresistible urge to combine her loves: growing food, and creating flavour-packed experiences.
Amanda is a darn good foodie — a lover of taste, colour, and the magic that comes when fresh ingredients meet a hungry imagination.
She’s on a mission to bring meals to life — meals that don’t just look beautiful but taste extraordinary.
WHY MICROGREENS?
Tiny leaves, mighty goodness
Microgreens aren’t just a pretty garnish — they are nutritional powerhouses. Packed with up to 40x more nutrients than their mature counterparts, they deliver an incredible boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in every tiny leaf. At Better Greens, we believe good food should feel as good as it tastes, and microgreens make that possible.
Why microgreens are so nutrient-dense
Young Plants, Concentrated Nutrients
Microgreens are harvested very early, just after the first true leaves appear (usually 7–21 days after germination, depending on the variety). At this stage, the plant is tiny, but it’s storing all the nutrients it needs to grow quickly — vitamins, minerals, antioxidants — in a very small leaf. That’s why per gram, they can have up to 40 times more nutrients than the same plant when fully mature.High Antioxidant Levels
Studies have shown that microgreens contain higher concentrations of polyphenols, vitamin C, E, and K, plus carotenoids like beta-carotene, compared to mature leaves. These compounds are the plant’s natural defense system — and they benefit humans just as much as the plant!Small Leaves, Big Impact
Because microgreens are tiny, you get more nutrition in less volume. A handful of microgreens can deliver the same or more nutrients than a large serving of the mature vegetable.Careful Growing Conditions
At Better Greens, our organic, spray-free, daily-tended growing method ensures the plants are healthy and nutrient-rich — stress-free microgreens are more potent!
HOW WE GROW
Grown with love. Full of goodness
Every tray of Better Greens microgreens is organically grown, spray-free, and lovingly tended each day until harvest. Our growing methods ensure the plants are vibrant, healthy, and bursting with flavour. Once they’re ready, they’re carefully packed and sent on their way, gracing the plates of families and diners across the Peninsula, Waihi and beyond.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Freshness in every leaf
At Better Greens, it’s about more than microgreens. It’s about passion, care, and a little bit of joy in every leaf. It’s about taking the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary. From our hands to your plate, every bite is a celebration of freshness, flavour, and the beauty of good food.
