🌿 OUR STORY

Grown With Care, Right Here in Limpopo

Why we started The 4th Ingredient, and where we're headed next.

HOW IT STARTED

A Simple Idea

The 4th Ingredient started with a simple idea: great food deserves great ingredients, grown close to home. We hand-grow our microgreens in small batches in Polokwane, harvesting each tray within 24 hours of delivery so chefs get the freshest, most flavourful greens possible.

We believe the best dishes are built on quality basics — and for us, that starts with what we grow ourselves, without pesticides, in small batches we can stand behind.

Our Journey

Starting small, growing with the chefs and communities we serve.

1

Launching With Microgreens

We're starting by supplying fresh, pesticide-free microgreens to top restaurants across Limpopo — R50 per 50g, harvested within 24 hours of delivery.

2

Expanding Our Range

Next up: a microgreen hot sauce, a dried spice blend, microgreen capsules, and an organic spinach broccoli microgreens powder.

Growing With Limpopo

As we grow, we're aiming to bring more products and services to chefs and home cooks alike — always locally grown, always small batch.
