AgriFORCE Provides Update on UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour Nutritional Advantages
03 August 2023 - 11:00PM
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 qualification
of its UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour. The company has now
confirmed the nutritional edge its new product has over regular
flours. Independent lab test results confirm
UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour has over 5x the fiber, 2x the
protein, and 77% less net carbs than regular all-purpose flour.
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
germinated wheat, without sacrificing 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, providing superior nutrition.
David Naccarato, Director of IP Development and Inventor of the
CERES-MNG Patent, explained the advantages of
UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour: “As compared to standard
all-purpose flour, whole-wheat baking flours made with 100% of the
wheat kernel are considerably higher in fiber. The increased fiber,
bran and other parts of the kernel can make breads, pancakes,
pasta, and pastries more dense and course due to the reduced
overall percentage of gluten which gives baked goods structure and
texture. Additionally, within the bran, certain natural compounds
known as tannins and phytic acid take center stage. These
compounds, although rich in nutritional value and health benefits,
contribute to the distinct bitter taste of whole wheat breads
resulting in a more bitter taste. While sprouted flours, mainly
from sprouted wheat, provide greater digestive and dietary health
benefits, these benefits also come at the expense of functionality,
meaning breads and pastries made with sprouted grain flour can lack
texture and structure, as well as taste slightly “grassy” due to
the acrospires (sprout tails). Another problem is that there are no
standards for sprouted wheat.”
“UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour solves these problems,”
continued Mr. Naccarato. “By gently germinating the grains with
strictly tested parameters and stopping the sprouting process at a
very early stage, grains are naturally brought to an ideal state
that optimizes nutrition and functionality, while heightening
natural sweetness to improve the taste profile. The CERES-MNG
patented process of natural accelerated modification provides an
unprecedented degree of flavor, quality, and performance not seen
in other whole kernel or sprouted wheat products. Consumers no
longer need to sacrifice the flavor and quality they crave in baked
goods, in order to get the nutrition they desire and
need.”
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 by the end of the
year.
