Growing Community
We want to create a community of growers, chefs, nutritionists and food citizens; everyone who is a steward of our food future.
Growing Knowledge
With simple equipment you can learn to test the quality of food to indicate its nutrient density and verify results with comparative taste testing.

Growing Awareness
Let nature do the talking! Grffn offer workshops to increase your experiential relationship with nature. Workshops explore food quality issues, teach how to test and record food quality values (Brix) and conduct comparative taste testing sessions to verify results. Results can be uploaded to Grffn's Citizen Science database to help build evidence for a regenerative future.
Grffn are developing citizen science projects to help understand how well a plant has been grown i.e. food quality. This aims to empower trust in the human senses, so we can understand and self-select well grown, nourishing, nutrient dense food. Both growers and food citizens are invited to get involved.
Growers
Record your Brix values in our database to establish a baseline and compare results with others. Learn and share best practise to increase quality year on year.
Food Citizens
Chefs, nutritionists, food citizens – check the quality of ingredients you buy and eat to maximise taste, health, and good stewardship of the planet. Upload results to share your passion and create demand.
The Bionutrient Meter
Grffn supports the development of the Bionutrient Meter which aims to measure the nutrient density of fruits and vegetables, in real time.
Grffn’s ‘Food Quality First’ pilot project 2022/23 partnered with the Bionutrient Institute (USA) to share their methodology for a UK pilot project. Fascinating results highlight the complexity of attempting to define Food Quality by its nutrient density.
