Organic Okanagan Apple Cereal - 700g

Okanagan Apple Cereal is a locally inspired breakfast blend featuring whole grain oats, buckwheat and brown flax with a sprinkling of the ancient grain emmer. The organic dried apples and cinnamon in this mixture create a simple, wholesome, breakfast option.

Heads up, you gotta be ok with gelatinous! Flax seeds when soaked release a soluble mucilaginous that becomes gelatinous when mixed with water.  When soaked, flax seeds become more digestible and release certain nutrients more efficiently. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, providing a boost to digestive health. Flax seeds are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Super healthy and good-for-your-gut cereal. I often mix steel-cut oats into it if I want to soften the gelatinous flax a bit.

How to Use

• As a soaked or cooked cereal this mixture makes a great breakfast that is sure to keep you full until lunch
• Once cooked or soaked Okanagan Apple cereal can be added to bread and muffin recipes for added fibre, texture and taste

Fieldstone Organics

I'm always amazed and inspired by agricultural businesses that started with a few farmers wanting to do something great, and Fieldstone Organics is one of those stories.

It started when a small group of organic Okanagan grain growers wanted to create more crop diversity by introducing healthy, under-marketed ancient grains like spelt into their repertoire, but needed a way to process them. Ancient grains require a different harvesting and cleaning process than modern wheat.

This is how Fieldstone Organics was born. They created a facility that can clean and package these unique crops, and now they buy and clean over 25 different crops ranging from wheat and ancient grains to seeds and legumes. They source only from certified organic farms in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan because they want their shipping footprint to be as small as possible. Their growers share the values of their customers: clean, sustainable food. Pretty amazing!
