why whole grain?
Because we know that Whole Grain makes tastier baking that is both healthier for you and the environment!
At Tommy’s Whole Grain we create the best tasting breads and pastries, all while reducing food waste and increasing the nutrient density of our food. Ultimately, we want to see more people enjoying Whole Grains than ever before!
Because flavour matters.
Whole Grain doesn’t mean dense or bland, that’s a complete misconception! At Tommy’s Whole Grain, we know that Whole Grains offer incredible variety.
Grains like Rye, Spelt, Einkorn, and Marquis- just to name a few- all have different flavour characteristics which bring out the best baking.
From nutty, to lactic, from earthy, to fruity, there is a huge world of grains out there that all have unique profiles and different things to offer!
We partner with regional small-scale organic grain growers, so we can support the farmers doing the most important work to ensure the food system is equitable and resilient. We are especially excited to be working closely with BC farmers, including sourcing organic grains from Cedar Isle Farms in Agassiz, BC!
What if we were able to reduce food waste by 20%? What if we were able to increase the micronutrients in flour by 95%?
Whole Grain flour is a necessary piece to how we fight the climate crisis, and build healthier communities. With the rising costs of goods and services, we cannot afford to discard one-fifth of our crops (like with white flour), and the portion containing nearly all the nutrition.
Because our environmental impact matters.
because health matters.
Whole Grains contain high amounts of fibre, iron, B and E vitamins like folate and niacin. These micronutrients are important for healthy immune systems, brain function, and reproductive health.
Producing food using Whole Grains ensures that all 21 micronutrients found in wheat are present.
As bakers at Tommy’s Whole Grain, we have to do what we can to ensure these nutrients are present in the food we make. Let’s keep these valuable nutrients in our food like nature intended!
