Murakami Farm's Achievement at Future Awards 2025

Murakami Farm, a leader in sprout vegetables in Japan, has made headlines by winning the prestigious 'Product of the Year' award at the 'Future Awards 2025' organized by We’re Smart World. This accolade is a major recognition within the innovative food industry, celebrating companies that promote plant-based foods and sustainability.

Founded in 1978 and based in Hiroshima, Japan, Murakami Farm specializes in high-nutrient vegetables, particularly their flagship product, Broccoli Super Sprout. This unique sprout, harvested on the third day of growth, contains over 20 times the beneficial compound 'sulforaphane' compared to regular mature broccoli, showcasing its impressive health benefits.

The Future Awards ceremony took place on June 9 at the Belgium Pavilion in Osaka, an event part of the 'Food & Beverage Week'. The event was graced by the presence of notable figures, including Princess Astrid of Belgium and Mayor Maria José Datar of Valencia, Spain. Their attendance underscored the international importance of promoting sustainable food practices.

We’re Smart World is dedicated to increasing the use of fruits and vegetables sustainably, pushing for more plant-based ingredients in restaurants and businesses globally. The Future Awards highlight innovations in this field, encouraging companies to focus on reducing food waste and expanding plant-based alternatives for consumers.

Murakami Farm’s Broccoli Super Sprout stood out for its exceptional health properties and the company’s dedication to advanced agricultural practices. They employ cutting-edge techniques in their high-tech plant factories, ensuring a stable and high-quality output of their sprouts throughout the year. Interest in sulforaphane, a compound known for its health benefits such as potential cancer prevention, has surged among consumers, leading to a sixfold increase in the sprout's shipment volume over the last decade.

As the company moves forward, they aim to continue delivering highly nutritious sprouts globally, contributing to improving health and well-being. The Broccoli Super Sprout is produced exclusively under a licensing agreement with Dr. Paul Talalay from Johns Hopkins University, affirming its scientific backing.

For health-conscious consumers seeking sustainable foods, Murakami Farm’s Broccoli Super Sprout represents an exciting choice, merging innovation with wellness. The company highlights their goal of making such nutrient-rich foods broadly available, playing a crucial role in a healthier food landscape.
