Haven't we all enjoyed a life-changing acai bowl?? Okay, maybe it's just our founder Emily... but she did have a life-changing açaí bowl in 2016 while living in Australia. The cafe used sprouted buckwheat seeds as a grain-free granola replacement, and THE BUCK-WILD OBSESSION BEGAN. Addictive crunch + satisfying, low glycemic energy + sustainable crop = Sprouted.
Emily LOVED the sprouted buckwheat crunch, especially contrasted with the cold, creamy açaí. It was how amazing she felt after eating this—sustained energy for hours with no sugar crash—that sparked a lifelong buckwheat obsession.
Naturally, this obsession evolved into a crusade to create the "Quaker Oats of Buckwheat" here in the U.S.She has spent over half a decade sharing the love of this fruit seed, creating opportunities for American farmers to grow this soil health powerhouse.
The buckwheat story gets better and better. Buckwheat is not only amazing for humans but also for the planet. We partner with American farmers, and a regenerative one, in particular, to improve soil health in North America!
Regenerative Organic Certified® is a revolutionary new certification for food, apparel, and personal care ingredients. Regenerative Organic Certified® farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
With regenerative organic agriculture, we can rehabilitate soil, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields.
In practice, regenerative organic agriculture can look like cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, compost, and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
All Regenerative Organic Certified® products and farms must also meet the requirements of the USDA Organic Certification.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
