Expand your world of grains & help the environment

Switch out that bowl of rice for dinner with a drought-resistant grain and help the environment. Not only will you increase your daily intake of fiber, but you'll increase your protein and vitamins & minerals.

Did you know that nearly half of the world's calories come from rice, corn and wheat?

As the climate gets warmer and our planet begins to encounter more droughts, agriculture across the world has to continue supplying our most utilized crops such as rice, corn and wheat regardless of the fact that they are not drought-resistant.

This unfortunate circumstance is a great opportunity for all of us to expand the types of grains we eat with drought resistant types that are just as delicious and provide us with much more health benefits than the common thirsty crops.
