FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hodgson Mill Introduces New KAMUT Wheat, Sorghum & Teff Side Dishes
Ancient Grain Medleys offer whole grain nutrition in three delicious flavors
EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS – January 24th, 2017: Family-owned Hodgson Mill offers even more innovation in 2017 by introducing an Ancient Grain Medley line of side dishes made with KAMUT wheat, ancient grain sorghum, and teff - three delicious ancient grains with buzz in the grocery and natural foods marketplace.
Ingredients were chosen with care. KAMUT Khorasan wheat is a heritage wheat grown organically, and it lends a naturally rich, buttery flavor and fluffy texture to the pilaf. Sorghum is an ancient grain originating from Africa, but now grown widely in the United States –it is a drought-resistant, nutritious grain that feeds millions of people around the world; Americans are just discovering its possibilities beyond familiar sweet ‘sorghum syrup.’ Teff is the world’s tiniest grain: it is packed with minerals, and adds a lightly tangy flavor.
New Ancient Grain Medleys are available in three flavors, including Butter & Chive, Roasted Garlic & Peppercorn, and Rosemary & Olive Oil. Seasonings were carefully selected to complement the grains. All three are Non-GMO Project Verified.
Each 5-oz. pouch holds 3-4 servings and is ready in about 20 minutes, making them a convenient and delicious addition for simple weekday meals, or even fancier dinners.
Each nutritious serving offers 35g of Whole Grains (daily recommended serving is 48g), 4g Fiber and a lower amount of sodium (300mg) compared to most side dishes on the market, which can range to 800mg or more per serving.
Bob Goldstein, Owner & President, of Hodgson Mill weighs in, “We believe customers are hungry to discover different ancient grains, including KAMUT wheat, Sorghum and Teff. Quinoa is great, but it’s everywhere, and we have other some other popular side dishes that feature it.”
Erin Goldstein, Marketing Manager, explains “Side dishes like the Ancient Grain Medleys are popular because cooks like to craft their own “main dish,” but like easy sides that can nutritiously round out their home cooked meal.” She adds, “Personally, Butter & Chive is my favorite!”
Suggested Retail Price is $2.99 (about $.85 per serving.). Packed in stand-up pouches in a retail-ready case, these products are handy for both retailers and consumers’ pantries, and also generate less waste and freight costs than paperboard or boxed products. Available soon in grocery and natural foods stores, as well as online at HodgsonMill.com, and at Amazon.com and other e-tailers.
