The government has officially recognized July 23rd as National Sprout Day. This achievement honors the legacy of Steve Meyerowitz and validates the importance of these living greens in our daily lives. I hope you continue to cultivate kindness and health in your own communities as we move forward together.

July 23rd is Steve “the Sproutman” Meyerowitz’s birthday. Although he is sadly no longer with us, he spent 40+ years of his life educating people about the incredible benefits of eating and growing sprouts—while also spreading a message of positivity, kindness, and love. To honor and continue his decades of trailblazing work, we want to make July 23rd National Sprout Day.
Sprouts are one of the most powerful greens on the planet. As baby greens in their first two weeks of life, they are naturally chock full of easy-to-absorb vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, amino acids, and special plant compounds (like sulforaphane). Gram for gram, sprouts can have up to 40x more nutrients than their full grown veggie counterparts. In short, they are nature’s most delicious and powerful multivitamin—but they also support social and environmental sustainability by providing an accessible food source for all.
National Sprout Day is a day to eat sprouts, start sprouting at home, and educate others about the countless benefits of these supergreens. It’s also a gentle reminder to be sproutful—to be a force of kindness, hope, positivity, generosity, and love in the world.
We hope you’ll help us make National Sprout Day official by signing the petition! In the meantime, stay sproutful!Updates

Happy National Sprout Day & Happy Birthday Steve. I remember you fondly from NYC, Union Square, Central Park & WBAI. You were an inspiration to me then and continue to inspire me today.
Steve Meyerowitz was a man who was committed to the wellness of others. We must honor his positive spirit by establishing National Sprout Day on his day of birth, July 23rd.
My husband and I started growing sprouts after reading your dads first book! We go way back into the '70's'!!! Happy Birthday Sproutman!

The nutritious but humble sprout would make for a great Nationwide Sprout Day, and for a way to celebrate self reliance, home agriculture for kids, respect for healthy eating, and small growing things, like kids themselves. This would be a terrific way of recognizing kids and sprouts at the same time.
