1. Whole Grains:
What Are They?

2. We have grains on the brain.
All the time.

3. In order to understand what
whole grains are, we need to
understand where they come
from.

4. Whole grains are the entire seed
of a plant, most commonly from
wheat and rye.

5. They are made up of three
parts: the bran, the germ, and
the endosperm.

6. The bran and the germ of a
whole grain are rich with
healthy nutrients, including
fiber, vitamins, and minerals,
while the endosperm contains
starchy carbohydrates.

7. Over the past several years
wheat has gotten lost in the
farm to table conversation,
relegated to a commodity,
driven by availability and price.

8. Our goal with La Brea Bakery
Reserve was to put a focus back
on one of mankind’s most
important ingredients: single
origin heirloom grains.

9. Grown in Big Sky Country,
Montana, the whole kernel of
the Fortuna grains are milled
into Cracked Wheat , Whole
Wheat Flour and baked into our
Reserve breads.

10. We chose Big Sky Country,
Montana, because of the line of
Fortuna wheat that is grown
there and how the environment
helps with its flavor
development and character.

11. These two factors together
along with our passion for
baking create breads packed
with healthy nutrients and
deep, nuanced flavor you can
taste.

12. Our advice: use La Brea Bakery
Reserve to elevate your French
toast, bruschetta, or charcuterie
board!
