Bertie Hechter
Driven by an enduring passion for developing ideas and turning them into workable solutions, has led the inquisitive Bertie Hechter to explore the production of wheatgrass juice after discovering the rich minerals in it.
An adventurer and explorer at heart, Bertie has led a 30-year professional journey which has seen him occupy varying roles including businessman, farmer and IT specialist.
“After carving a niche market in the sector through the sale of sprouts to local supermarkets, restaurants and hotels, I came to learn of wheatgrass’ health benefits in 2014 which led to extensive research about the plant. Through the help of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and Hegewisch Food and Wine Consultants, our first samples of the product will be tested. The tests include the assessment of product preservation, developing the right formula as well as market testing,” Bertie explains.
