FOOD

We are sourcing and providing local communities with real Organic NON GMO Food. Food security means having, at all times, both physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet dietary needs for a productive and healthy life for you and your family. 

Ancient grains refer to grains that have not been changed by selective GMO breeding over recent millennia. We source all of our grains from countries that have a total ban on all GMO's, herbicides and pesticides, such as Turkey & Kyrgyzstan.

Only 22 countries out of 195 have a total ban on GMO foods and Monsanto.

An article published by the Scientific American also proves that almost ALL "Organic" food in the US is poisoned with chemicals and we must source some of the real organic foods from outside of the US. There are over 20 chemicals commonly used in the growing and processing of organic crops that are approved by the US Organic Standards.

 

We are pleased and honored to be offering these ancient grains from these total ban NON GMO countries with no Monsanto GMOs, chemicals or pesticides. You will taste the difference, guarantied.

Basmati Rice

Basmati rice is long grain rice, meaning it is longer and thinner than other types of rice. It has a nutty flavor and a light and fluffy texture.

 

Basmati rice has a long history, dating back hundreds of years. It is believed to have originated in the Himalayan region and was brought to India by traders and missionaries. Basmati rice is now one of the most popular types of rice in India and Pakistan. It is a good source of folate, thiamine, selenium, niacin, copper, iron, vitamin B6, zinc, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Red Split Lentils

Lentils are high in fiber, and complex carbohydrates, while low in fat and calories. Their high protein content makes lentils a perfect option for those looking to boost their protein intake. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a delicious staple in a gluten-free kitchen. Their exceptionally low glycemic index (low GI) values and resistant starch content make them suitable for a diabetic diet.

 

Did you know? When combined with a whole grain, lentils provide the same quality protein as meat! Lentils are good source of protein. A ½ cup serving of cooked lentils provides about 12 grams of protein. With such high protein content, you are sure to be fueled up all day long.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas are affordable, versatile, and highly nutritious. They may aid weight management, protect against chronic disease, and promote several other aspects of health.

 

Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, have been grown and eaten in Middle Eastern countries for thousands of years. Their nutty taste and grainy texture pair well with many other foods and ingredients. As a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, chickpeas may offer a variety of health benefits, such as aiding weight management, improving digestion, and reducing your risk of disease.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat belongs to a group of foods commonly called pseudocereals. Pseudocereals are seeds that are consumed as cereal grains but don’t grow on grasses. Other common pseudocereals include quinoa and amaranth.

 

Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is thus gluten-free. It’s used in buckwheat tea or processed into groats, flour, and noodles. The groats, used in much the same way as rice, are the main ingredient in many traditional European and Asian dishes. Buckwheat has become popular as a health food due to its high mineral and antioxidant content. Its benefits may include improved blood sugar control.

Bulgur

Bulgur wheat is an ancient grain that packs a nutritional punch into each nutty bite. The Old Testament mentions bulgur, and the wheat was popular in the ancient Mediterranean region. Bulgur mixes well with herbs and vegetables and is the main ingredient in popular Middle Eastern dishes such as tabbouleh (bulgur salad) and kibbeh (a kind of meatball).

Bulgur’s health benefits come mainly from its high-fiber content as a whole grain. High-fiber grains help you with digestion, gut health, and weight management. The FDA even affirms that high-fiber, low-fat diets help reduce the risk of cancer and prevent coronary heart disease.
