Sproutstanding Announces New Freeze Dried Microgreens Powder and Salt Blends

Revolutionizing Wellness with Microgreens: Sproutstanding’s Latest Innovation Sproutstanding, a family-run indoor vertical farm based in Saint Cloud, Florida, is reshaping the wellness industry with the launch of its innovative freeze-dried microgreens powders and salt blends. This new line of products makes it easier for individuals to incorporate nutrient-dense superfoods into their diets, offering a convenient solution that maintains the nutritional integrity of fresh microgreens. A Journey from Reality TV to Real-World Wellness Founder John Crutchfield’s story is one of transformation. Having been a contestant on Season 9 of NBC's The Biggest Loser , Crutchfield became a public figure in the world of weight loss and wellness. However, his most profound health journey didn’t occur on a TV show but in his own home, where he struggled with severe gut health issues, systemic inflammation, and a positive ANA diagnosis. As Crutchfield navigated these health challenges, he discovered the power of microgreens—a category of vegetables that are harvested at their most nutrient-dense stage. This discovery transformed his health, helping him shed over 90 pounds and regain control of his well-being. Inspired by his experience, Crutchfield founded Sproutstanding with the mission of sharing the benefits of microgreens with the world. Microgreens for Maximum Nutrition: A Commitment to Quality Sproutstanding’s microgreens are far from ordinary. The company uses cutting-edge precision farming techniques to control every aspect of the growing process, from light spectrum to humidity. In collaboration with the University of South Florida (USF) and Software Logistics , Sproutstanding is developing advanced sensor technology for its vertical farming systems, ensuring that each batch of microgreens is optimized for maximum nutritional content. The company’s products are grown from non-GMO heirloom seeds, utilizing reverse osmosis filtered well water and natural growth pads, which drastically reduces the potential of heavy metals and other contaminants commonly found in soil-based farming. The microgreens are harvested at the peak of their nutritional value, with studies showing that they contain up to 40 times the nutrients of their mature counterparts. Sproutstanding’s freeze-dried powders and salt blends retain well over 90% of the vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial enzymes found in fresh microgreens, and the shelf-stable products can be conveniently stored without refrigeration. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals looking for an easy and effective way to enhance their diets with potent superfoods. Bringing Fresh Nutrition to Every Lifestyle For local customers in Central Florida, Sproutstanding offers fresh microgreens, providing an immediate nutritional boost to meals. The company works closely with local chefs and restaurants, supplying vibrant greens that can elevate dishes with their powerful health benefits. Sproutstanding is also expanding its reach to regional grocery stores, ensuring that these nutrient-dense greens are more accessible to consumers across the state. On a national scale, Sproutstanding’s freeze-dried products are a game-changer. The microgreens powders and salt blends are designed to be as convenient as they are beneficial, offering a simple way to incorporate greens into meals without the need for constant shopping or fresh ingredient storage. The powders are available online at an affordable price point, making healthy living more accessible to everyone. Supporting the Next Generation of Innovators Beyond the farm, Sproutstanding is committed to fostering innovation in the wellness space. The company is collaborating with USF to continue integrating sensor technology into its systems for improved nutritional optimization. Additionally, Crutchfield is looking to work with local STEM schools such as Neo City Academy which his son attends, to inspire the next generation of innovators. With a focus on social impact, Sproutstanding is also exploring partnerships with food banks, community-supported agriculture programs (CSAs), and school systems to help fill nutrition gaps in underserved communities. This aligns with the company’s broader mission of making health and wellness accessible to all, regardless of location or socioeconomic status. Microgreens and Wellness: A Powerful Partnership "Microgreens have had a profound impact on my health," says Crutchfield. "If there is one thing people should add to their diets today, it’s broccoli microgreens. If you can’t get quality fresh microgreens locally, the next best option is our Broccolish Pure Powder ." The benefits of sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli microgreens, have been well-documented in studies for their anti-inflammatory and cancer-supportive properties. Sproutstanding’s products are crafted to naturally boost sulforaphane levels, providing a safe and effective way to support overall wellness. The "Salt Swap": Sneaking Nutrients into Every Meal One of the most innovative ways Sproutstanding is helping families enhance their health is through its Superfood Sea Salt Blend . Designed as a simple substitute for traditional table salt, the salt blend is an easy way to introduce nutrient-dense greens into everyday meals. "I use our microgreens salt blend in every meal," says Crutchfield. "It’s the easiest cheat code to get the most nutrient-dense greens into the diets of picky eaters, and it's become a staple in our household." Sproutstanding is setting a new standard for wellness products, combining cutting-edge technology, precision farming, and a passion for health. Whether it’s the convenience of freeze-dried microgreens powders or the innovative microgreens salt blend, Sproutstanding is on a mission to help individuals of all lifestyles achieve better health, one nutrient-packed bite (or sprinkle) at a time. Sproutstanding Wins Best Microgreens Powder in Central Florida 2025 Sproutstanding is proud to announce its recognition as the Best Microgreens Powder in Central Florida for 2025 , awarded by the prestigious Evergreen Awards. This honor highlights the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, nutrient-dense products that blend sustainability, innovation, and wellness. Sproutstanding’s cutting-edge vertical farming methods, non-GMO heirloom microgreens, and freeze-drying technology set them apart as leaders in the wellness industry. About Sproutstanding Founded by John Crutchfield, Sproutstanding is a family-run indoor vertical farm based in Saint Cloud, Florida.

Free FICA Tip Credit Assessment for Restaurant & Food Service Businesses

Tip Credit USA announced the expansion of its FICA Tip Credit Free Assessment, offering food and beverage employers a streamlined, risk-free way to determine eligibility for a federal tax credit many businesses have never claimed. The FICA Tip Credit has been available for more than thirty years and allows eligible employers to reclaim the FICA taxes paid on employee tips. Despite its longevity, most restaurants and food and beverage employers remain unaware of the credit or lack the time and resources needed to navigate the filing process. As the deadline to claim 2022 FICA Tip Credit funds approaches, Tip Credit USA’s updated assessment provides timely, compliant support for businesses seeking to understand their eligibility and potential credit amount. Through the Risk-Free FICA Tip Credit Assessment, businesses receive: • A clear assessment of potential credit amounts • Zero upfront costs • CPA-led management of the claim from start to finish • A process backed by a 100% compliance rate • Payment only after the credit is received Eligible businesses may file for the previous three tax years, increasing the potential financial benefit and making awareness and timely action especially important. The expanded assessment offering was introduced in response to growing demand from business owners seeking reliable guidance as filing deadlines approach. Many food and beverage employers previously missed the opportunity to claim the credit due to lack of awareness, staffing constraints, or limited internal resources to manage the process independently. To address these challenges, Tip Credit USA designed a streamlined, CPA-led solution that removes upfront costs and administrative burden while ensuring compliance throughout the filing process. Tip Credit USA places a strong emphasis on listening to industry feedback and understanding the practical barriers facing business owners. Staffing shortages, time constraints, and uncertainty around tax credit programs have consistently been cited as the main reasons credits go unclaimed. Having been in business for several years, Tip Credit Partners tax specialists have processed more than $1 billion in FICA Tip Credits, ERTC funds, and Visa/Mastercard settlements, handling each claim from start to finish. The company strives to ensure eligible food and beverage employers do not miss federal tax credits due to lack of awareness, time, or internal resources. This approach has established Tip Credit USA as a transparent and compliance-focused partner in a market where business owners are often cautious of tax credit programs.

Awad Prime Investment Partners with Aram Food to Enter U.S. Market

Awad Prime Investment and Aram Food Industries Forge Strategic Alliance to Bring Ultra-Premium Egyptian Produce to the U.S. and Canada. In a transformative move for the global frozen food industry, Awad Prime Investment has entered into a strategic alliance with Aram Food Industries to launch an ambitious expansion into the United States and Canada. The partnership unites two of Egypt’s most innovative agri-food companies with one mission: to introduce North American consumers to a new generation of premium and ultra-premium frozen fruits, vegetables, and natural juice products grounded in Egypt’s exceptional agricultural heritage. The alliance arrives at a pivotal moment for the global food supply chain, as consumers increasingly demand transparency, purity, and naturally sourced ingredients. With more than five years of combined experience manufacturing and exporting high-quality frozen produce, the partnership draws on an expanding international footprint that already spans 14 countries — including the U.S., the U.K., Puerto Rico, Morocco, Libya, Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Now, the companies aim to position Egypt as a rising global origin for premium-grade produce. Egypt’s Agricultural Advantage: Reimagining Local Strength for Global Markets Egypt’s reputation as one of the world’s oldest agricultural centers remains a significant strategic asset. With its fertile soil, favorable climate, and expansive farming regions, the country has long been recognized as a reliable source of vibrant, flavorful produce. According to Iullia Shevchenko, General Manager and Executive Vice President of Awad Prime Investment, these natural advantages are central to the company's global strategy. “Egypt’s soil is among the most fertile in the world, producing fruit and vegetable varieties with exceptional flavor, color, and nutritional value,” Shevchenko said. “This is precisely why Egypt has become such an attractive destination for agricultural investment. Through our partnership with Aram, we are elevating this natural potential into ultra-premium products designed for discerning global markets.” Awad Prime’s newly enhanced production line — built in cooperation with Aram Food Industries — was engineered to meet stringent international standards, from raw material handling to final packaging. Shevchenko emphasized that no shortcuts are taken during production; every item is supervised through strict quality checkpoints to ensure maximum purity and flavor retention. Brand Portfolio Tailored for North America’s Evolving Consumer Landscape Awad Prime Investment currently manages three premium brands along with its flagship Ultra-Premium line, Awad Prime, known for its clean-label formulations, minimal processing, and unwavering focus on product integrity. Its expanded portfolio is positioned to meet a rapidly changing consumer landscape in the U.S. and Canada, where demand for authenticity, transparency, and natural ingredients continues to rise. According to industry data, the North American frozen food market has grown significantly in the past decade, driven by busy lifestyles and the heightened interest in nutrient-dense, ready-to-use produce. Yet many consumers remain dissatisfied with mass-market options that compromise flavor and freshness in favor of large-scale commercial uniformity. Mr. Malik Al Sharari, CEO of Aram Food Industries, believes this gap is precisely where the alliance can deliver value. “Our brands — Uncle Chef, La Prima, and Aroma — already have strong identities across multiple global markets. The alliance with Awad Prime allows us to expand that strength by offering an elite product line specifically engineered for the U.S. and Canada,” Al Sharari explained. “These consumers want real fruit flavor, natural color, and uncompromising quality. Our partnership is built to deliver exactly that.” Beyond exports, the companies are also expanding locally within Egypt by partnering with high-end cafés and beverage houses. Signature drinks such as Golden Trio, Black & Berry, and Tango Shot have quickly gained popularity, illustrating the brands’ ability to appeal both domestically and internationally. Global Certifications and a Commitment to Food Safety Quality and safety remain central pillars of Aram Food Industries’ production philosophy. The company maintains FDA approval and ISO certifications, affirming its adherence to global manufacturing standards. Mr. Mahmoud Nouman, Factory Director of Aram Food Industries, described the company’s manufacturing approach: “Our production system is built to exceed international benchmarks. We implement strict quality standards at every stage — from sourcing and washing the produce to flash-freezing, storage, and packaging. Our priority is simple: deliver 100% safe, clean, and nutritious products to consumers worldwide.” Aram Food Industries also prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices. These include reducing operational waste, optimizing water use, and implementing energy-efficient production systems — initiatives designed to protect natural resources and minimize environmental impact. Direct-to-Consumer Vision for North America While exporting is the foundation of the expansion strategy, Awad Prime Investment seeks to go far beyond traditional supply chains. The company is investing in digital transformation, U.S.-based marketing operations, and direct consumer engagement. Mr. Mostafa Al-Kayali, Regional Director for the U.S. and Canada, explains that the company’s vision is centered on consumer trust and product transparency. “We don’t just manufacture and ship products,” Al-Kayali said. “We accompany the product from the beginning — from selecting the fruit in Egypt to the moment it reaches the consumer’s home in North America. This is our commitment, and it differentiates us in a crowded marketplace.” To support this strategy, Awad Prime has launched an international media hub dedicated to brand storytelling, consumer education, and digital outreach. The company also collaborates with major importers and distributors across multiple states to ensure an efficient supply chain that connects high-quality Egyptian produce directly to North American households. Al-Kayali noted that many consumers in the U.S. and Canada have become accustomed to highly processed frozen items that lack natural flavor due to commercial mass production. The alliance aims to offer a refreshing alternative: “Food is one of life’s greatest blessings — and one of humanity’s best lines of defense. Quality should never be compromised. We hand-select each fruit individually to ensure it meets our ultra-premium standards. Our mission is simple: offer real flavor, real nutrition, and real value.” A Turning Point for Egypt’s Global Food Manufacturing Sector The partnership between Awad Prime Investment and Aram Food Industries marks more than a business expansion — it represents a larger shift in Egypt’s food manufacturing industry toward global competitiveness. The alliance demonstrates that Egyptian companies can meet and exceed international expectations in quality, branding, safety, and distribution. As global supply chains evolve and consumers demand products that are natural, transparent, and responsibly sourced, the alliance is well-positioned to become a major competitor in North America’s premium frozen food segment. With its combination of fertile sourcing, world-class manufacturing, sustainable practices, and a consumer-centered distribution model, the partnership stands poised to reshape perceptions of Egyptian produce worldwide.

Bay Area Spotlight: The Grewals’ Regional Indian Vision with Cinematic polish

Carolina and Jatin Grewal, with backgrounds in global fashion and film, mark a new chapter in Northern California dining through Rivaaz Hospitality, their regional Indian restaurant group now spanning eight Bay Area locations. Their properties, from Emeryville and San Francisco to Dublin, welcome guests into rooms that balance glamour with restraint, grounding each visit in atmosphere and measured service as much as culinary craft. Menus at each address celebrate regional Indian traditions, prepared by chef-led teams who blend classics such as Delhi chaats and Punjabi curries with California produce and seafood, supported by attentive, polished service. Within the group, each concept fills a distinct role in the portfolio. Cafe Tazza in Dublin functions as an Indian bakery, Indian sweet shop, and quick-service street-food restaurant, offering mithai, savory snacks, and everyday comforts in a casual setting. Baithak centers on Indian kebabs and curries, serving skewers, grilled specialties, and slow-cooked dishes designed for sharing, giving guests options that range from quick bites to long, convivial dinners. Together with their full-service restaurants, these concepts widen access to regional Indian flavors while maintaining the couple’s standards for hospitality and design. Carolina and Jatin began their public lives in India, with Jatin starring in Bollywood films, national television series, and music videos, and Carolina leading large-scale initiatives in fashion and events. After relocating to the Bay Area, they helped open Pippal in Emeryville in 2023 and later joined the team behind Rooh, collaborating on projects that would pave the way for new concepts. The group’s continued growth now includes Pippal Dublin, which opened in 2025, along with Alora Social and Fitoor, each property carrying its own visual and culinary identity while still reflecting the couple’s creative touch.

Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee, Single-Origin Beans Roasted to Order Announced

Boldline Coffee's recently launched single-origin whiskey barrel-aged coffee uses the company's specialty roasting techniques to create a distinctive flavor experience. The offering features Guatemalan coffee beans aged in whiskey barrels for 30 days, which imparts rich notes of caramel, oak, and subtle whiskey undertones that distinguish it from conventional coffee. Each home-delivered purchase is roasted to order, retaining freshness for each cup brewed. More details can be found at https://boldlinecoffee.com The specialty coffee industry has documented increasing consumer interest in barrel-aged varieties, which blend artisanal craftsmanship with unique flavor profiles that appeal to discerning palates. This trend reflects broader shifts toward experiential beverages that offer more than standard brewing methods can deliver. Beyond flavor innovation, the barrel-aging process produces a smoother, less acidic brew that reduces stomach discomfort compared to traditional roasts. This functional benefit enhances the appeal for health-conscious coffee drinkers who prioritize both taste and digestive comfort. Successful whiskey barrel-aged coffee requires precise management of bean selection, barrel type, and aging duration. Insufficient aging fails to transfer barrel flavors adequately, while excessive exposure can overwhelm the coffee's inherent complexity with overpowering notes. The Boldline Coffee's production method balances these factors to achieve consistent flavor that highlights the beans' original dark chocolate and fruity characteristics with the smoky sweetness of the bourbon barrel's contribution, allowing consumers to experience these layered tasting notes. Repurposing used whiskey barrels for coffee production, not only imparts distinctive flavors, but also provides an environmentally responsible upcycling benefit that aligns with the sustainability values increasingly important to specialty coffee consumers. This practice reduces waste while creating a unique selling point that differentiates barrel-aged offerings from conventional roasts. Eco-friendly packaging with recyclable linings maintains freshness during transit while minimizing environmental impact. Boldline Coffee's new whiskey barrel-aged coffee is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 12oz to 12lbs. Customers can also choose whether to have the coffee delivered whole bean or ground. Each delivery includes brewing guidance for both traditional and cold brew methods, so customers can optimize their preparation based on equipment availability and personal preference. With this latest addition to their specialty coffee range, Boldline Coffee combines finest beverage craftsmanship with accessible home delivery service, making premium barrel-aged varieties available to enthusiasts nationwide.
