Our story
Welcome to SUCSEED
We believe we’ve found the easiest way possible to add an extra boost of wholefood nutrition into your life and we are so happy to share it with you!
As an editor of glossy magazines, I spent years working with people worrying about their health, and that of their family. We all know how hard it is to juggle work and family life and still make healthy eating a priority! I decided I wanted to do something to help… So, I trained to be a nutritionist and learnt about the incredible properties of seeds and botanical herbs. I experimented with growing seeds on our farm in Norfolk and spent over two years sourcing the very best ingredients from organic and regenerative farms.
SUCSEED is the result! The perfect blend of seeds and complementary botanicals that offer functional benefits for specific health needs. Just sprinkle on to any meal and enjoy!
