Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Nature’s Path organic Mesa Sunrise cereal is the “height of great taste”--a unique medley of Indian corn, flax, and amaranth blended into crunchy, golden cereal flakes and naturally sweetened. Be sure, you will not have to lower your expectations even if you are eating a gluten-free, wheat-free breakfast. The flavor, while somewhat akin to corn flakes, is richer and nuttier. The difference is organic flax, buckwheat, and the ancient grains quinoa and amaranth. These were once the staples of Aztec and Peruvian homes and now you can enjoy their unique tastes and many nutritional benefits including omega-3 fatty acids. You do not have to settle for ordinary flakes or tasteless gluten-free cereal when Nature’s Path offers so much more--a pinch of this, a dash of that, but never anything artificial. This product contains no artificial additives, preservatives, or colors. Moreover, the USDA organic certification on this product means that the ingredients are grown without synthetic herbicides, pesticides, and nasty chemicals. This is a sacrifice-free way of enjoying your breakfast.

Whole Grain Goodness for Everyone

The specialty of Nature’s Path is, and has always been, everything “whole grain”. If you decide to go “gluten free” then there is no healthier option than organic gluten free--products that are not only gluten free but also free of other things that can compromise health. Add to that, Non-GMO Project verified for an extra assurance when it comes to food safety.

Nature’s Path uses gluten-free grains such as buckwheat, quinoa, millet, sorghum, amaranth, brown rice, flax, teff, and whole grain corn.

Amaranth: Long considered a native crop in Peru, amaranth was a major food crop of the ancient Aztecs and played a part in their religious practices as well. Amaranth is gluten free, high in protein, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. It is the only grain that also contains vitamin C.

Brown Rice: Naturally gluten free, whole-grain rice is usually brown but can also be black, purple, or even red. It is one of the most easily digested grains and though it is lower in fiber, it is still rich in many other nutrients.

Buckwheat: It is not technically a grain at all and not any kind of wheat, but rather, a cousin of rhubarb! It is the only grain to have high levels of an antioxidant called rutin and of course, it is gluten free too.

Certified gluten free and wheat free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, an independent service that supervises gluten-free food production according to a consistent, defined, science-based standard that is confirmed by field inspections. Nature’s Path was the first USDA Certified producer of organic breakfast cereal in North America and we're the larges manufacturer of organic cereals to this day. Many of our gluten-free products are Non-GMO Project verified. GMO crops are found in so many of the foods implicated in health and digestive issues and have yet to be proven safe. We keep them out of our foods because we don’t believe in using people as guinea pigs in a lab experiment. Quality Assurance International is a third party certification organization that regularly inspects to ensure stringent organic food standards are met. All Nature’s Path foods are Kosher.

Whole Grain Corn: While it’s true that corn may be familiar, don’t overlook it when it comes to antioxidants. Corn has the highest levels of antioxidants of any grain or vegetable!

Quinoa: It is another “grain” that is not quite a grain. Quinoa is actually a relative of Swiss chard and beets. This gluten free grain was a favorite of the Incas. It comes from South America and is a small, light colored grain that looks a bit like sesame seeds. It is a complete protein, delivering all the essential amino acids our bodies need.

Sorghum: This hearty gluten free grain from Africa thrives where other grains would wither and die. It can be eaten like popcorn, cooked into porridge, or made into flour. It is very popular with people who have gluten issues.

Teff: This is a tiny grain that comes from Africa--it is 1/150th the size of a wheat kernel. The fact that “teff” comes from the word “teffa” meaning “lost” starts to make sense. Teff has a sweet, molasses-like taste and can be used for baked goods, porridge, or "teff polenta". It is high in iron and calcium.

These are surprisingly satisfying for being gluten free. It's even better when I add bananas and some pecans to it. I've even used these to bread things with and it worked out quite well.

This review is from: Nature's Path Organic Mesa Sunrise Cereal, 10.6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

I truly like this brand of Cereal. It's crunchy and low calarie with all good healthy ingredients. The flax taste initially takes a little bit to get used to. I mix in fresh berry fruits such as rasberries, blueberries or blackberries which enhances the cereal flavor. It is also a good deal to purchase under the special promotions for grocery products. The only downside to watch for is the packaging expiration date. I found that the expiration date is relatively short. For example, I purchased this product in May '09 and it will expire in July '09. It comes in a pack of 6 boxes each weighing 10.6 oz. If you are a big cereal eater, that shouldn't be a problem.
