AgriFORCE Provides Update on UN(THINK) Awakened Flour Nutritional Information and New Production Partners

One-of-a-kind sprouted wheat flour provides an increased percentage of fiber and protein compared to regular all-purpose baking flour

Strong production partners ensure sustainability and provenance of the product

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property (IP)-focused AgTech company dedicated to advancing sustainable cultivation and crop processing across multiple platforms, today provided an update on the nutritional information and new production partners for its UN(THINK) Awakened Flour. Tests provided by Eurofins, a leading international group of laboratories providing a range of testing and support services to the pharmaceutical, food, environmental and consumer products industries, determined UN(THINK) Awakened Flour to have over 5x the fiber, up to 2x the protein and 23% less net carbs compared to regular all-purpose baking flour1, making it a nutritious alternative for today’s consumers, while delivering great taste and better digestion.

As previously announced, UN(THINK) Awakened Flour uses a 100% natural patented process that captures the goodness of the grain, providing all the nutritional and dietary benefits of sprouted wheat, while enhancing the flavor, texture, richness and natural sweetness that are ideal for breads and pastries. UN(THINK) Awakened Flour uses 100% of the whole wheat kernel with no added ingredients. UN(THINK) Awakened Flour is now available for B2B customers in Canada and the U.S. and AgriFORCE plans to expand sales into the direct-to-consumer market within the next couple of months.

AgriFORCE has also entered agreements for its UN(THINK) brand with two local partners, a non-GMO sprouted grains supplier as well as a specialty milling partner, who bring their expertise and care to the products. Based in Saskatchewan, Canada, one of the world’s best and largest grain producing regions, UN(THINK) partners Maker’s Malt and Marquis Milling and Grain are committed to sustainability, farmer relationships and transparency, ensuring consumers know where their food comes from. Maker’s Malt grows over 90% of the grain processed in its facility, while also sourcing and sprouting the grains from local, Saskatoon-based farmers. They then convert the raw grains to sprouted grains using UN(THINK)’s patented process at the company’s dedicated and state-of-the-art malting facility. Following the proprietary sprouting process, Marquis Milling then mills, blends and packages UN(THINK) Awakened Flour at their facility known for its high quality and service standards.

Hernando Ruiz-Jimenez, General Manager of UN(THINK) Foods, shared, “The nutritional profile of UN(THINK) Awakened Flour is a testament to our high-quality awakened grains and patented process. We deliver more protein and fiber with less net carbs and great taste. This is confirmed by the many trials of breads, pastries, and other products we have conducted. Furthermore, our partners in Saskatchewan, Maker’s Malt and Marquis Milling, provide a sustainable and traceable source of grains from local farmers, which is key for our customers.”

Matt Enns, Founder of Maker’s Malt, stated, “We are thrilled to work with AgriFORCE and UN(THINK) to source and process high quality, sustainable, local grains for Awakened Flour. Our strong partnerships with farmers and high-quality processing facilities allow us to deliver a great new product that we believe consumers will love.”

Russell Schroeder, President of Marquis Millers, said, “Marquis Millers has a strong reputation built on quality, sustainability, safety and integrity. We are excited to work with AgriFORCE to mill this new UN(THINK) specialty flour that brings superior nutrition and taste to today’s families.”
