Wildway Grain-Free Instant Hot Cereal
We are challenging the status quo with a wildly different approach to breakfast and snack foods.
The innovative and creative minds at the San Antonio, Texas-based Wildway believe in fueling bodies with high quality nutrition with nutrient-dense food because “it’s not just about the calories, it’s about how our bodies can use real food ingredients to thrive and get the most out of life.” With that principle in mind, Wildway created five grain-free instant hot cereals by starting with a base of 7 ingredients: walnuts, ground flaxseed, cashews, coconut flour, pecans, dried dates, and vanilla bean, and then adding cinnamon, cocoa nibs, coconut, freeze dried blueberries, or espresso.

Anson Mills Stone Cut Oats
Behold the phenomenon of real fresh oats.
Agricultural products depend on soil, seed, farming practices, preparation and enjoying the final product so it goes beyond saying that not all oats are created equal. In fact, it’s more accurate to say that oats – like many other products (think grocery store tomatoes versus Farmhouse tomatoes) – vary tremendously in flavor and it’s not because some are instant, flakes, or steel-cut but rather if the oat has been bred for flavor (as opposed to yield, visual appeal, shelf life, disease resistance, or transport) and grown in soil that uses crop rotation to maximize the nutrients and thus the flavor of the oat. Healthy, nutrient rich soil makes great tasting food. Read more

Five Fantastic Granolas
Do you remember the days when the granola selection was limited to Kellogg’s, General Foods, Bear Naked (the new kid on the block years ago), and the bulk containers in the health food aisle? Over the past five years, the granola market has literally exploded with dozens of companies making the “perfect” granola which is, of course, totally subjective.
There are purists who favor a granola with a base of oats, nuts, and honey and there are the adventurous ones who want dried fruits, seeds, and other tasty additions. And, there are those who favor a low sugar (as in less than 6 grams of sugar per serving), low-fat (nearly impossible if nuts are included), gluten-free, nut-free, high protein, high fiber, and more. The good news: there is a granola to suit nearly everyone’s tastes. Read more
