30ml of living, fermented microgreens. Grown by us in Perthshire, cold-pressed within hours of cutting, then wild-fermented for days and bottled by hand in small batches.

Five microgreens — broccoli, sunflower, pea, red cabbage and rambo radish — with apple, lemon, ginger, apple cider vinegar and a little Blackthorn salt.

Ten seconds in the morning, before food. It tastes fresh and green, with apple sweetness, warming ginger and a proper fermented tang. Real food, not a sweet wellness gimmick.

"I wasn't expecting to like it." — the most common thing we hear, usually right before someone subscribes.

Why this exists

A day's worth of greens.
In ten seconds.

We made Big Shot for the version of you that means to eat better and then runs out of day. Five microgreens we grow ourselves, cold pressed within hours of cutting, then wild-fermented with apple, ginger, lemon, apple cider vinegar with the mother and a little Blackthorn salt.

It is not a juice and it is not a supplement. It is concentrated whole food, in the smallest format we could make it without cutting a single corner.

How to use it

There isn't much to it.

01 Take it in the morning Straight from the bottle, before food. Ten seconds, no prep, no blender to wash.
02 Daily is where it works best But three mornings a week beats none at all, and you still get the nutrition every time you drink it. Pick the rhythm you can actually keep — that matters far more than being perfect about it.
03 Keep it in the fridge Big Shot is live and unpasteurised. Chilled storage keeps the cultures happy and the flavour clean.
What's in it

Five microgreens,
each doing a job.

We grow all five ourselves in Perthshire, and each is in here because it concentrates something different — no single green covers everything. Then, to ferment it: apple for balance, ginger for warmth, lemon for brightness, apple cider vinegar with the mother for the live culture, and a little Blackthorn sea salt, hand-harvested on the Ayrshire coast by a producer small enough that we know them by name. That is the entire list. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings, no preservatives, and no water added to make it go further.

Broccoli The sulforaphane one. Broccoli carries glucoraphanin, which converts to sulforaphane the moment the leaf is cut or chewed — one of the most researched plant compounds there is.
Red cabbage The most-studied microgreen of the lot. It is the variety behind most of the published nutrient-density research, and where much of the anthocyanin colour comes from.
Rambo radish Deep purple and properly peppery. Another brassica, so more glucosinolates — and radish microgreens are noted in the literature for vitamin E and anthocyanins.
Pea Sweet, green, and the one most people recognise on taste alone. Pea shoots are the plant-protein contributor here, and are noted for vitamin K.
Sunflower The substantial one. Sunflower shoots are noted for a fuller amino acid profile than most greens, plus vitamin E and iron.
How it's made

Harvested weekly.
Never heated.

Fermentation takes the time it takes, so Big Shot is made in batches rather than pressed to order. Here is the whole process, honestly.

01 We harvest, every week All five microgreens are grown and cut by us in Perthshire, at the point they are most concentrated. Nothing is bought in.
02 Cold pressed, never heated Pressed within hours of cutting. No pasteurisation at any stage — heat degrades vitamin C and reduces sulforaphane, which is rather the point of the exercise.
03 Wild fermented With apple, ginger, lemon, apple cider vinegar with the mother and a little Blackthorn salt. Fermentation breaks down the plant cell walls and brings live cultures with it.
04 Bottled, chilled, dated Every bottle carries four weeks of shelf life from bottling. We have tested it well beyond that — four weeks is simply where it is at its best.
The evidence

Why microgreens, and not just more salad?

25 of 25 varieties tested came out higher than their mature counterpart on at least one nutrient
95.6% adherence in a randomised trial of daily microgreen consumption — people stick with it
30ml is all it takes. Not a 300ml juice you have to find time for

Totally reversed my gut issues.
Will never be without Big Shot.

Common questions

Before you
order.

Why five varieties and not just one?

Because they are good at different things. Broccoli and radish bring glucosinolates, red cabbage brings anthocyanins and the deepest research base, pea brings plant protein, sunflower brings a fuller amino acid profile. Different varieties concentrate different classes of compound, so a blend covers considerably more ground than any single green could.

What does it taste like?

Green and tangy, with warmth from the ginger and a lift from the lemon. The apple takes the edge off without making it sweet. It is a ferment, so there is an acidity to it — most people find they get used to it in two or three days and then rather look forward to it. We do not add sweeteners to make it go down easier.

Do I have to take it every single day?

No. Daily is where it works best, and that is how we designed it — but this is food, not a course of treatment. Every shot you drink delivers the same nutrition whether it is your seventh that week or your second. If three mornings a week is what fits your life, that is genuinely worth more than an all-or-nothing approach you abandon by February.

How long does it keep?

Four weeks from bottling, kept refrigerated. We have tested it successfully well beyond that, but four weeks is the sweet spot — the point where flavour and quality are still exactly as we want them. If you need something shelf-stable, the Powder keeps for over a year.

Is it made fresh for my order?

Not quite — and we would rather explain than imply otherwise. The microgreens are harvested weekly and pressed within hours, but fermentation takes time, so Big Shot is made in batches rather than to order. What you receive was harvested recently, fermented properly, and bottled with four weeks of life ahead of it.

When will I notice something?

Honestly, it varies, and anyone giving you a precise timeline is guessing. Most of our subscribers describe changes that come on gradually over several weeks — steadier energy, calmer digestion — rather than arriving one particular morning. It is food, not a stimulant.

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?

Any time, with no minimum and no cancellation fee. Going away for a fortnight? Pause it. We would far rather you paused than ended up with bottles going to waste in the fridge.

Is it suitable if I'm pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication?

Big Shot is food rather than a supplement, but it is unpasteurised and contains live cultures. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised or taking medication, please check with your GP or midwife before adding it. We would rather you asked.
