We operate out of two sprouting facilities, both of which are BRC certified with an AA rating. One facility is dedicated to the production of gluten containing seeds (i.e. wheat, barley, rye & spelt). The other facility is for processing grains that are naturally gluten-free. Neither of our facilities process mustard, peanut, tree nut, sesame, coconut or dairy. We source ingredients that do not contain these allergens, but because we’re not certified, we cannot 100% guarantee that the raw grain or seed did not come in contact with these allergens before entering our facility.
Sprouting does not remove gluten but for some people who have discomfort digesting wheat, sprouting may aid in their ability to digest and enjoy. Our sprouted rice, quinoa, flax, oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, beans, chickpeas and lentils are all naturally gluten-free. All production involving gluten takes place in a separate facility to avoid cross contamination.
The germination process is so complex that scientists don’t yet understand all of the biochemical reactions that take place, however, here is what we do know:
The size of the sprout will vary depending on the seed. You may not necessarily see a large visible sprout for the grain to be consistent with the properties of sprouted grains. Some sprouts fall off during the drying process and some seeds are physically too small to see a large visible sprout. The sprouted seed, not the physical sprout, holds the nutrients.

LOT CODE: This is an internal code used to help us track the seed throughout our sprouting, milling and packaging process.
BEST BEFORE: This date indicates the shelf life of the produce. Sprouted grains, seeds and beans shelf life is the same as their unsprouted counterparts when stored in a dry place at room temperature.
ORGANIC: Our facility is certified organic by Pro-Cert Organic Systems Ltd. and we source only organic ingredients for all of our products.
WHOLE GRAIN STAMP: The Canadian Whole Grain Stamp indicates grams per serving of whole grains. Products that are made entirely of whole grains and no other ingredients carry the 100% banner (this is in contrast to the US stamp where the 100% banner can be used if 100% of the grain is whole grain).
For more information, visit Whole Grains Council.
KOSHER: Our facility is certified Kosher.
You can store sprouted dried grains, seeds, beans and flours as you would store their unsprouted counterparts – in a dry place at room temperature.
Once you cook your sprouted grains, they should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Note on Sprouted Flours: All of our sprouted flours are completely whole grain which means all of the naturally present oils in the grain remain in the flour once milled. This helps to give our sprouted flours their full flavor and keeps the nutrients in the flour. Although it is not necessary, feel free to store your sprouted flour in the fridge or freezer to keep the fresh taste intact.
Our sprouted baking mixes do not contain any preservatives. Once baked, you should store them as you would any freshly home baked good. Cool completely and store in an airtight container at room temperature. If you can stop yourself from eating them all straight from the baking tray, we recommend eating them within 3-4 days for peak freshness.
