We’ve been getting a lot of love recently from all our fans (thanks, y’all!) It’s always great to know we’re appreciated. We know that a lot of people are feeling the pinch in this economy, though, and some of you have been tempted to downgrade your cereal options. Even though you looooove the taste of [...]
As some of you may have noticed, we feature buckwheat in our granola. Why? For one reason, it’s gluten-free—making it a great choice for people with celiac and others who have difficulty with gluten. But what’s more, it has a unique and delicious taste of its own that has been described as part wild greens, [...]

…that’s the best way to describe Mojamix’s favorite grain for the month of March, and that’s millet. Millet is rich in protein and B vitamins, especially niacin, B6, and folacin and offers calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

“The Ancients used this medicine to remain fertile, strong and vigorous . . .”

Yeah, we know. Hemp. Trendy, trippy—but also, as it turns out, tasty, timeless, and terrifically nutritious. Apart from the other oh-so-fabulous benefits people receive from hemp plants, the seeds have been an ancient and nutritionally complete part of [...]

First, a bit of history. Goji berries grow on an evergreen shrub found in temperate [...]

Quinoa (Keen-wah!) has been an important human food for an incredibly long 6,000 years. The Incas considered quinoa to be sacred. They called it “chisaya mama,” or “mother of all grains.” The emperor would traditionally sow the first seeds of the season with tools made of gold.
Compared to other grains, quinoa is [...]

We’d like to give a big shout-out this week to Ittybits for recognizing how great Mojamix is for the little ones. After all, what’s more ideal for the picky eater than a huge buffet of options to be mixed and matched at will? That buffet is exactly what our unique ordering process provides. Among the millions–yes, millions! of [...]

“There’s one thing we almost forgot,” said the fairy godmother. “You’ll need an awful lot of energy if you’re going to dance the night away after scrubbing and scouring all day. Here, take this cereal—it’s got everything you love the best and nothing you don’t. Not to mention the nutritional support you need for glowing [...]

There’s a festival atmosphere in town tonight, as carbo-loading marathoners get psyched for the Big Day. I’m in a motel room with my ice chest and the yellow pages, mulling over my dinner options.
Electrolyte drink that tastes like watered down koolaid? Blech.
Gummy pasta with little nutritional value beyond the carbs I want to load for the [...]

As sixteenth century William Butler said, “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.” Loaded with vitamin C, strawberries are also a great source of maganese, vitamin K, potassium, iron, and folic acid. And of course, that deep red color means they are full of antioxidants too.
Strawberries are a particularly [...]
