Some 30 years ago, our founders evisioned the good that real food can do. They understood intivitively that real food has the power to do more that fill us up with calories. It can create postive change in ourselves in the world. This sparked the epihany that led us to explore nutrition from simple whole grains. We discovered that, when combined, whole grains can provide progressive nutrition, even protein, while minimizing impact on the planet. Seven whole grains later, we liked where this was going. That was 1984 and the start of our 7 Whole Grains and Sesame blend. Today we will seek out ingredients for there specfic taste, texture and nutritional benifits - like protein, fiber and a variety of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients not found in most single- grain foods. With the dream of healthier living for all, we ended up culivating a food movement. Our approach to progressive nutrition from real ingredients still inpsires the foods we make and our mission to nourish people and planet. Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic--MEDIA GUIDE 53
