About Nutrafortified

Nutrition begins with the ground beneath us.

Nutrafortified’s farm in Five Points, California sits on a rare geological zone where the soil contains naturally elevated selenium levels originating from ancient marine sediment deposits. This unique mineral profile provides the foundation for our work — but the soil alone is not what makes our crops exceptional. For more than a decade, Nutrafortified has invested in rigorous agronomic research, field trials, and varietal development to identify drought tolerant, selenium responsive broccoli cultivars capable of thriving in this environment. Through controlled irrigation, soil chemistry monitoring, and selective breeding of resilient crop lines, we’ve optimized the plant’s ability to uptake selenium in stable, nutritionally meaningful forms such as selenate, selenite, and organic seleno amino acids. This combination of unique soil chemistry, climate conditions, and scientifically guided crop development allows us to produce a variety of crops with a consistent, naturally occurring selenium profiles that cannot be replicated through synthetic fortification. It is the integration of land, science, and long term agronomic innovation that defines Nutrafortified’s farm origin nutraceuticals.
