Nature's Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal, 10.6 oz

Cold Breakfast Cereals

Nature's Path organic Mesa Sunrise cereal is the "height of great taste" - a unique medley of Indian corn, flax, and amaranth blended into crunchy, golden cereal flakes and naturally sweetened. You can be sure that you will not have to lower your expectations even if you are eating a gluten-free, wheat-free breakfast. The flavor, while somewhat akin to corn flakes, is richer and nuttier. The difference is organic flax, buckwheat, and the ancient grains quinoa and amaranth.

These ancient grains, once the staples of Aztec and Peruvian homes, can now be enjoyed for their unique tastes and many nutritional benefits, including omega-3 fatty acids. You do not have to settle for ordinary flakes or tasteless gluten-free cereal when Nature's Path offers so much more - a pinch of this, a dash of that, but never anything artificial. This product contains no artificial additives, preservatives, or colors.

Moreover, the USDA organic certification on this product means that the ingredients are grown without synthetic herbicides, pesticides, and nasty chemicals. This is a sacrifice-free way of enjoying your breakfast. Nature's Path uses gluten-free grains such as buckwheat, quinoa, millet, sorghum, amaranth, brown rice, flax, teff, and whole grain corn.

Amaranth, long considered a native crop in Peru, was a major food crop of the ancient Aztecs and played a part in their religious practices as well. Amaranth is gluten-free, high in protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, and is the only grain that also contains vitamin C.

Brown rice, naturally gluten-free, is one of the most easily digested grains and, though it is lower in fiber, it is still rich in many other nutrients. Buckwheat, not technically a grain at all but rather a cousin of rhubarb, is the only grain to have high levels of an antioxidant called rutin and, of course, it is gluten-free too.

Certified gluten-free and wheat-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, an independent service that supervises gluten-free food production according to a consistent, defined, science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections, Nature's Path was the first USDA Certified producer of organic breakfast cereal in North America and is the largest manufacturer of organic cereals to this day.

Many of Nature's Path's gluten-free products are Non-GMO Project verified, as GMO crops are found in so many of the foods implicated in health and digestive issues and have yet to be proven safe. The company keeps them out of their foods because they don't believe in using people as guinea pigs in a lab experiment.

Quality Assurance International, a third-party certification organization, regularly inspects to ensure stringent organic food standards are met, and all Nature's Path foods are Kosher.

Whole grain corn, while familiar, should not be overlooked when it comes to antioxidants, as it has the highest levels of antioxidants of any grain or vegetable. Quinoa, another "grain" that is not quite a grain but rather a relative of Swiss chard and beets, was a favorite of the Incas. It is a complete protein, delivering all the essential amino acids our bodies need.

Sorghum, a hearty gluten-free grain from Africa that thrives where other grains would wither and die, can be eaten like popcorn, cooked into porridge, or made into flour, and is very popular with people who have gluten issues. Teff, a tiny grain that comes from Africa, has a sweet, molasses-like taste and can be used for baked goods, porridge, or "teff polenta". It is high in iron and calcium.

Organic is healthier, as it means less pollution in your world and in your bowl, and Nature's Path has made America's favorite gluten-free cereals for longer than anyone else has. Nobody offers a wider range of gluten-free breakfast options, and you can make Nature's Path your daily breakfast partner today!
