Prime Grains Inc. is a
farmer owned company established by Canadian Prairie farmers with the
mission of growing and marketing quality grain products.
We are committed to farmer
initiative and ownership and the basic concept of the free marketplace.
Prime Grains Inc. is privately self-funded. We want your
support as a willing customer not as a coerced taxpayer.
Prime Grains Inc. is pleased to be
a member of IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture
movements). IFOAM is
the umbrella organization created by the global organic community.
We support IFOAM because we believe it sincerely represents the
interests of all sectors of organic agriculture from producers to
consumers and is beyond the politics of national governments.
The experience, dedication and
integrity of our growers and processors ensure and add to the quality of
our products. The Prime Grain products we offer you are grown by
certified organic growers and are not genetically modified or irradiated
and are without additives.
We are also enthusiastic about our
membership and affiliation with Farmer Direct Co-op Ltd.
Based out of Regina Saskatchewan, this co-operative of Canadian
Prairie organic family farms and ranches is the first to receive Domestic
Fair Trade Certification with their FairDeal program.
Prime Grains is located in the
northern region of the Prairie Great Plains of North America. This harsh
winter climate is known for the production of high quality grains.
Based on this and being centrally located, we consider and target
North America as our realistic “local market”.
We
are the exclusive growers and suppliers of Prime Einkorn™, the nutrient
rich, delectable wheat grain that dates back over 10,000 years to the
stone-age.
We are pleased to additionally
offer the following unique and healthy wholegrains:
Prime
E-Barley is an ancient Ethiopian barley
that has been grown as human food for thousands of years.
This hulless grain boasts 16% protein and 7.25% of the super
nutrient beta-glucan.
Prime
Buckwheat – this gluten-free pseudo
grain, related to rhubarb, is now being acclaimed by researchers for its
exceptional nutrition and healing properties.
Prime
Golden Flax - with omega 3 oil for the
heart, lignans for cancer and fiber for cholesterol, research shows the
importance of flaxseed in the daily diet.
Prime
Heritage Wheat – this 1950s nutritious
baking wheat was developed to produce well under natural growing
conditions.
Prime Whole
Flour – 2010 research shows that eating
wholegrain foods lowers blood pressure “similar to what you might expect
to get from using blood pressure-lowering drugs”. (American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, The Rowatt Institute of Nutrition and Health, Aberdeen
University, Scotland). Not
only are our Prime Flours the wholegrain of nutrient packed grains grown
without chemical pesticides and fertilizers, but they are also very tasty.
Prime
Sainfoin – not a direct human food,
but this ancient forage known as “healthy hay” is what we want for
healthy meat and dairy products and a healthy environment. |
