Why ancient grains?

Ancient grains unlock the magic that allows snacks to better nourish our bodies with crave-worthy taste and texture! These grains are remarkably regenerative to the land they are grown on, which is vital to maintaining nutrient-rich soil.

The Problem

Modern grains are genetically modified to maximize sweetness and yield. They have lost any of the original nutrition they once had. Just look at how much corn has changed in the last few centuries! Modern corn is now 40% sugar!

Ancient Grains are the Solution

Ancient Grains – we like to call them SUPER grains! – have been the same for thousands of years without selective crossbreeding, genetic modifications, or hybridization. If history hasn’t changed these grains for over thousands of years, why should we?

So Much More to Know about Sorghum!

Sorghum is often hailed ‘the next quinoa’ – but we think its better than that because of its incredible taste, versatility and environmental benefits. We call Ancient Grain Sorghum our Super Grain because it is so densely nutritious, naturally gluten free and one of the most important crops in fighting, and adapting to, climate change. The US is the leading grower of sorghum in the world – and we source most of our sorghum from farms within a few hours of us!
