Are you ready to elevate your products with high-fiber, whole-grain ingredients? If not, consider this: 54% of total consumers report they’re willing to pay more for grain-based foods that have high fiber.¹ Sustagrain® – Ardent Mills’ proprietary high-fiber, beta-glucan barley – provides 14 grams of fiber per serving, beating out other similar ingredients like regular barley, oats, whole wheat, rye and corn.² And its mild taste makes it the perfect addition to formulations that could benefit from more fiber, without sacrificing the flavor consumers expect.

Did you know the U.S. quinoa market has grown an average of 19.2% per year since 2008? Consumers are clearly keen on quinoa, but what makes quinoa such a potential game changer for CPG brands and manufacturers looking to capitalize on its growth? ✔️A nutritional powerhouse. The nutritional profile of quinoa is ideal for consumers who want to incorporate more plant-based foods and nutrient-dense ingredients into their diets. ✔️ Historical and cultural significance. Praised as the “mother of all grains” by the Incas, this ancient grain has been cultivated for over 5,000 years. ✔️ Ethical sourcing, sustainability and traceability. Knowing where ingredients come from, that they can offer sustainability attributes and that they’re ethically sourced are all important purchase drivers for consumers, as highlighted in the Trend to Table™ report from Ardent Mills.
