Kernza® Grain

Paper bags without plastic lining and paper labels made with recyclable adhesive. Remove the tin tie, and the bag is recyclable or compostable.

We source Kernza® Perennial Grain from the city of Edgerton, MN. Their Kernza field surrounds the city’s drinking water wells. They’ve seen a 40% reduction in nitrate pollution of their water since planting Kernza! The world’s first commercially viable perennial grain, Kernza grows for multiple years and establishes a deep root system. These roots build soil, prevent water pollution, sequester carbon, and grow a plant that produces a healthy, delicious grain. 

Rinse 1 cup of Kernza. Boil 1 1/2 cups water, add Kernza and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cover for 40-45 minutes.
