“We’re excited to offer retailers new healthy choices and make our specialty products more accessible to every shopper,” shares Bill Germano COO of Enrich Foods. “We mill our own grains and our products naturally have more fiber, protein and nutrients. People looking for a healthier breakfast option will love our organic, no added sugar, single-serve hot oatmeal packs.”

Heart-Healthy, Nutrient-Dense, and Sustainably Sourced

Health, Lifestyle and Environmental Concerns Drive Consumer Demand

Alternative flours and grains represent an exciting growth category.
