US military know-how makes for some juicy secrets

Vegus Juices is the first company in the world to make a drink from super healthy broccoli sprouts, writes Joe Dermody

Wexford drinks company Vegus Juices has used a secret US military ready-meals production technique to produce a “super-juice” from über-healthy organic broccoli sprouts — a conundrum which has been puzzling the world’s health food sector for years.

Vegus Juices founder Michael Reynolds, a former tax adviser from California, believes his company’s latest juice is a world first. With some 300 studies confirming the health benefits of broccoli sprouts (young sprouts), global agri-food firms have been in a race to produce a convenient, organic juice from the health-enhancing plant.
