Our Story

A world where... rather than popping a synthetic daily multivitamin, you get your daily dose of nutrients by eating a bowl of super nutritious plants.

A world where... you don’t have to spend your whole paycheck on organic greens to stay healthy.

A world where... everyone, regardless of income or location, has access to one of the most nutritious and affordable superfood greens on the planet.

That's our vision.

We are trailblazers. Our dad was a pioneer in modern sprouting, writing books and leading classes on clean, sproutful living since the 1970s.

Our dad and founder, Steve “The Sproutman” Meyerowitz, struggled with asthma, eczema, and psoriasis from an early age. Dissatisfied with the pills and creams he had tried, he decided to turn to his diet. He dove into vegetarianism, raw food, food combining, proper hydration, and juicing long before they were trendy (he wrote 11 books in the course of his lifetime on those subjects). But what made the biggest impact were sprouts.

Since 1977, Sproutman has been blazing the trail and educating about the power of sprouting. When our dad unexpectedly and suddenly passed away in 2015, we took over—calling ourselves the Sprout Brothers.

Inspired by his work and a lifetime of growing sprouts, we’re on a mission to share the benefits of sprouts and clean living across the globe.

We’re committed to making a difference in the world. We know that sustainability is a long term investment. But we also care about social issues like food security for those of all incomes and backgrounds, which is why we’re on a mission to make clean food accessible to all.

Above all else, we’re here to support you and your vibrant health. Join us and, together, let’s make the world more sproutful.

Sproutfully,

Sproutman Through The Years

1960s

After struggling with chronic asthma, psoriasis, and eczema, Steve Meyerowitz grew tired of conventional treatments that didn't solve his root issues. He decides to take his health into his own hands…

1971

Steve embarks on a strictly raw + plant-based lifestyle (something very unusual at the time). During this time, he discovered the power of sprouts (thanks to Ann Wigmore + Viktoras Kulvinskas). Sprouts are his perfect solution because of the lack of availability of clean, organic food in NYC at that time. His health, energy, and vibrancy steadily improves.

1974

Eager to share his life-changing knowledge about these supergreens and clean living, Steve starts teaching classes out of his NYC apartment.

1977

To make home sprouting easier for his students, Steve invents The Sprout Bag, which has a natural weave that mimics the airflow and environment of soil. It's the first of 3 growers he invented.

1979

As his classes become more popular, Vegetarian Times visits to write a feature. They officially dub Steve the "Sproutman." In response, he renames his company and creates a full Sproutman superhero costume to go along with it.

1983

Sprouts: the Miracle Food is published, the first of 11 books Steve would write on health in his lifetime.

1984

Steve successfully completes a 100 day just juice fast! (Nothing but raw juices and liquids for over 3 months!) At this point, he feels better than ever.

2005

By this year, Steve's books have been published internationally in 15 languages!

2015

After Steve's sudden and tragic death in a car accident, his sons Ari and Noah take the helm of Sproutman. (They were ages 25 and 16 at the time.)

2017

The brothers launch their first product—Wheatgrass Juice Capsules! Behind the scenes, they call themselves the Sprout Brothers ;)

2021

After 40+ years, Sproutman gets an updated look—plus lots more exciting stuff to come!
