Dear Friends,
My lifelong fascination with whole grains has taken me to the far reaches of the globe. On these journeys I have discovered many delicious treasures - the mighty grains that nourished the world's greatest ancient civilizations. I call them our Grains of Discovery®, and I've brought their stories home to share with you. Like this story of quiona...Native to South America, this amazing plant was domesticated thousands of years ago near Lake Titicaca, high on the plateaus of the Andes. It was mainstay in the diet of the ancient Incas, who considered it a sacred crop. I hope you enjoy exploring the culinary and nutritional wonders of ancient grains with quinoa and all of our Grains of Discovery®.
To Your Good Health, Bob Moore

If meatless Monday dinner for the whole family is a struggle, look no further. This classic comfort dish satisfies picky eaters and palates of all ages, and it includes a vegan meatball recipe worth bookmarking. The “meatballs” are seasoned with familiar Italian flavors and get their toothsome texture from chickpeas, quinoa, pecans and breadcrumbs. Simmer them in a made-from-scratch sauce, add organic spaghetti, and you’re sure to have full bellies and big smiles!
