As desirable as [superfoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfoods-drink-mix) are for many health-conscious consumers, expense tends to makes them inaccessible for most—but the Green Onyx juicer changes this.

The machine makes use of hydroponics in order to make it possible to grow the nutrient-dense aquatic superfood Khai-Nam at home without a plot of soil. This green superfood is comparable to broccoli, spinach and kale, and it is loaded with everything from iron to vitamins, Omega-3s and antioxidants. Although it may be new to North America, it has been consumed for centuries in Asia.

In order to simplify the process of consuming this superfood, the appliance harvests the food as part of the juicing process. In a sense, this machine is like having a [greenhouse and juicer in one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instafarm), making it possible to produce and consume Khai-Nam on-demand at any time of the day or year.
