Farro is a popular ancient grain and a relative of modern-day wheat. In ancient Rome, it was a mainstay of the daily diet. Our Organic Farro is a good source of iron and plant-based protein. Its hearty and chewy and has a wonderfully rich and nutty flavor. Incorporate it into dishes like casseroles, pilafs, soups or salads. This Mediterranean Farro Salad uses baked or fried eggplant, red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, mint and dill with a lemony olive oil dressing to create the perfect summer dish. You can also experiment with farrotto as an alternative to traditional risotto.
Our Organic Buckwheat Groats are the hulled seeds of the buckwheat plant. They have a mild and grassy flavor and are a great addition to everything from soups to salads. This traditional Eastern European grain is a must-have ingredient for classic dishes like potato knish. Freshly ground buckwheat can be used for delicious homemade soba noodles, and you can even use this gluten free wonder seed to whip up a batch of Buckwheat Granola. This recipe can be found on our bags of organic buckwheat groats and incorporates ingredients like Gluten Free Organic Rolled Oats, sliced almonds, Shelled Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, White Hulled Sesame Seeds, Dried Cranberries and coconut flakes for a sweet and crunchy breakfast or snack.

Our Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal is a bag of gold literally! We take high quality golden flax and grind it at a cool temperature to preserve the oil and increase the bioavailability of the nutrients, so you can get the most out of every single bite. Flax meal can be added to bread, pancakes, muffins or cookies for a bit of extra nutty flavor. It also be used as an egg replacer (1 tablespoon ground flax to 3 tablespoons water for each egg). We love enjoying our flaxseed meal in these Gluten Free and Vegan Yeast Waffles.

Our Organic Quinoa Flour (pronounced keen-wa) is one of the most nutritious grain flours available!

This grain is rich in nutrients and is a source of complete protein, providing all the essential amino acids. Its great for those following a gluten free, vegan or vegetarian diet, and puts a twist on everything from breads to waffles.
