The Seven Whole Grain Company Story

In 1984, our mission to help people enjoy more healthy foods was sparked by our passion for whole grain nutrition. After mixing grains and seeds for months in our hometown of La Jolla, California, we chose our unique blend of Kashi Seven Whole Grains & Sesame for its supreme nutritional profile - a complete plant protein with energy sustaining complex carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Our heritage blend started out as Kashi Pilaf, but continues to inspire nearly every food we make.

Whole Grains for Health

Whole grains are truly one of nature's premier superfoods. Sure, they're known for their fiber content, but they're also packed with hundreds of beneficial phytochemicals, selenium and vitamin E. Eating more whole grains is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, a healthier body mass index, more hunger satisfaction and better blood sugar balance; all important factors to maintaining a healthy weight and feeling great.

Whole grains also provide a variety of colors, textures, shapes and flavors, which adds up to pure eating enjoyment something we believe is equally important to great health.

But how much is enough? Experts recommend 3 or more servings of whole grains per day. Beginning your day with Kashi cereal is an excellent start.

*Nutritionists recommend eating at least 3 1-oz equivalents of whole grain products daily (about 16 g whole grains/serving or 48/day). A serving of Kashi Pilaf provides all of the recommended 48 g of whole grains...so dig in!
