WHAT A DIFFERENCE A LOAF MAKES

The average American uses 137 pounds of flour annually. It takes millions of acres to grow all the grain we require. Which is why Eco-Grain™ wheat is so smart.

Even a single loaf of EarthGrains® bread made with 20% flour from Eco-Grain™ wheat makes a small contribution to protecting the environment when compared with bread made from 100% traditional flour. The more loaves of bread made with Eco-Grain™ flour that you – and lots of other people – buy, the greater the impact.

900 GALLONS
OF DIESEL FUEL SAVED

Eco-Grain™ wheat farming cuts down on the use of diesel fuel that contributes to global warming. Making and transporting 2 lbs. of nitrogen in fertilizer releases over 8 lbs. of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
