Crunchy cereal puffs made from 7 whole grains and sesame. 0 g Sugar. 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 Grain & 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 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 control; 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; here are some more yummy whole grain offerings from Kashi!
