21 January 2023 - 01:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
AgriFORCE Growing Systems
Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property
(IP)-focused AgTech company dedicated to advancing sustainable
cultivation and crop processing across multiple platforms, today
provided an update on the nutritional information and new
production partners for its UN(THINK) Awakened Flour. Tests
provided by Eurofins, a leading international group of laboratories
providing a range of testing and support services to the
pharmaceutical, food, environmental and consumer products
industries, determined UN(THINK) Awakened Flour to have over 5x the
fiber, up to 2x the protein and 23% less net carbs compared to
regular all-purpose baking flour1, making it a nutritious
alternative for today’s consumers, while delivering great taste and
better digestion.
As previously announced, UN(THINK) Awakened Flour uses a 100%
natural patented process that captures the goodness of the grain,
providing all the nutritional and dietary benefits of sprouted
wheat, while enhancing the flavor, texture, richness and natural
sweetness that are ideal for breads and pastries. UN(THINK)
Awakened Flour uses 100% of the whole wheat kernel with no added
ingredients. UN(THINK) Awakened Flour is now available for B2B
customers in Canada and the U.S. and AgriFORCE plans to expand
sales into the direct-to-consumer market within the next couple of
months.
AgriFORCE has also entered agreements for its UN(THINK) brand
with two local partners, a non-GMO sprouted grains supplier as well
as a specialty milling partner, who bring their expertise and care
to the products. Based in Saskatchewan, Canada, one of the world’s
best and largest grain producing regions, UN(THINK) partners
Maker’s Malt and Marquis Milling and Grain are committed to
sustainability, farmer relationships and transparency, ensuring
consumers know where their food comes from. Maker’s Malt grows over
90% of the grain processed in its facility, while also sourcing and
sprouting the grains from local, Saskatoon-based farmers. They then
convert the raw grains to sprouted grains using UN(THINK)’s
patented process at the company’s dedicated and state-of-the-art
malting facility. Following the proprietary sprouting process,
Marquis Milling then mills, blends and packages UN(THINK) Awakened
Flour at their facility known for its high quality and service
standards.
Hernando Ruiz-Jimenez, General Manager of UN(THINK) Foods,
shared, “The nutritional profile of UN(THINK) Awakened Flour is a
testament to our high-quality awakened grains and patented process.
We deliver more protein and fiber with less net carbs and great
taste. This is confirmed by the many trials of breads, pastries,
and other products we have conducted. Furthermore, our partners in
Saskatchewan, Maker’s Malt and Marquis Milling, provide a
sustainable and traceable source of grains from local farmers,
which is key for our customers.”
Matt Enns, Founder of Maker’s Malt, stated, “We are thrilled to
work with AgriFORCE and UN(THINK) to source and process high
quality, sustainable, local grains for Awakened Flour. Our strong
partnerships with farmers and high-quality processing facilities
allow us to deliver a great new product that we believe consumers
will love.”
Russell Schroeder, President of Marquis Millers, said, “Marquis
Millers has a strong reputation built on quality, sustainability,
safety and integrity. We are excited to work with AgriFORCE to mill
this new UN(THINK) specialty flour that brings superior nutrition
and taste to today’s families.”
