🌱 Why Choose Organic? 🌱
Organic farming reduces exposure to harmful chemicals and supports practices that combat climate change by promoting carbon sequestration in the soil, conserving water, reducing pollution, and nurturing biodiversity. 🌎 Healthy soil grows healthy food—and a healthier planet!
🥦 Studies show organic produce can have higher levels of vitamin C, minerals, and antioxidants, while organic milk and meat often contain more omega-3 fatty acids.
💚 Choosing organic also means reducing your exposure to harmful chemicals. A study by Friends of the Earth found that switching to an organic diet lowered glyphosate levels in participants’ bodies by 70% in just one week!
So Why Do We Test Our Organic Oats for Toxins?
Even with organic farming, toxic chemicals like glyphosate can drift from neighboring fields or waterways. That’s why we take additional steps:
🔍 Purity Verification: Our oats are tested for glyphosate, paraquat, and 500+ agricultural toxins to ensure they meet our high standards. We also test for other areas of concern that organic doesn’t address -heavy metals like lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium to ensure they stay at naturally occurring levels
✍️ Farmer Contracts: Our farmers commit not to use glyphosate or paraquat on their conventional oat fields if they also grow organic oats.
Why Is Glyphosate a Concern?
Glyphosate, a common herbicide in conventional farming, is linked to serious health risks, including:
⚠️ Gut health issues that mimic Celiac Disease and cause food intolerances
⚠️ Fertility and endocrine disruption
⚠️ Increased risk of cancers and other chronic conditions
Glyphosate is water-soluble, meaning it can travel throughout the body and impact multiple systems. The chemical has been banned in many countries and municipalities.
We believe you deserve transparency, so we make our lab test results accessible.

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D This Winter? 🌞❄️
Many Americans fall short of their daily Vitamin D needs, especially during the winter months when sunlight exposure is limited. But why is Vitamin D so important, and how can you ensure you’re getting enough?
Why Your Body Needs Vitamin D:
✨Bone Health: It helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for strong bones and teeth.
💪Muscle Strength: Vitamin D can reduce muscle weakness and improve physical performance.
🛡️Immune Function: Research shows that Vitamin D supports your immune system, helping your body fight off illnesses.
According to Yale Medicine, severe Vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone pain, muscle weakness, and even an increased risk of falls in older adults. Many people are deficient and don’t realize it because symptoms can be subtle, and routine testing isn’t common.
How to Boost Your Vitamin D Levels
You can get Vitamin D from:
☀️Sunlight: Your skin naturally produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
🍄Food Sources: Fatty fish, egg yolks, mushrooms, and fortified foods
💊Supplements
Meet Your Vitamin D Goals with Functional Mushrooms 🍋🍄
Our superfood blend includes functional mushroom powder, a powerful ingredient that’s been gaining attention for its potential benefits for immune, brain, and heart health. Don’t worry—there’s no mushroom taste, just the bright and tart flavor of blueberries and lemon with a hint of poppyseed.
One serving of this oatmeal helps support your daily Vitamin D2 needs naturally. It’s a simple and tasty way to prioritize your health this winter. ❄️

🌱 Happy World Soil Day! 🌍
Healthy soil is the foundation of our planet’s survival—it nurtures over 95% of the food we eat and supplies vital nutrients to plants.
The damage to our soils from climate change and human activities is a significant issue.
Erosion harms ecosystems, making it harder for water to get into the ground and affecting its availability for all living things. It also lowers the vitamins and nutrients in our food. Did you know it can take up to 1,000 years to produce just 2-3 cm of soil? We need to tackle these problems together to protect our planet’s health.
It’s estimated that up to 58% more food could be produced through sustainable soil management. This year’s theme, “Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage,” reminds us of the importance of sustainable soil management to ensure a thriving future for us all. 🌻
At ZEGO, we’re passionate about protecting this precious resource. Did you know growing oats can actually improve soil health? Our oats are grown using regenerative farming practices like crop rotation and minimum tillage, which help preserve and improve soil health, reduce erosion, and even combat climate change by capturing carbon.
💬 How You Can Join the Conversation:
What are your favorite ways to support sustainable agriculture in your daily life? Share your thoughts below or tell us what questions you have about regenerative agriculture!

🎯 Boost Your Protein Game with ZEGO Oats!
Did you know that upping your protein at breakfast can make a big difference in your energy, body composition, and blood sugar? When clinical nutritionist Kelly LeVeque suggested 30-50g of protein in the first two meals of the day, Molly Knudsen, M.S., RDN, did the math and realized she needed a boost.
The solution? Molly turned to high-protein options like overnight oats and yogurt to hit her goals. That’s where ZEGO Organic Double Protein Oats can make a difference!
🌟 Why ZEGO Oats?
💪 Double the protein of typical rolled oats
🌾 Certified USDA Organic & grown with regenerative farming practices in the western U.S.
💡 20%-40% more fiber for a lower glycemic load
Top your oats with seeds, spices, and fruit for flavor, texture, and even more nutrition. To prep our raw Double Protein oats for overnight oats, simply pour boiling water over them first. Let sit for 15 minutes before refrigeration.
Other options for overnight oats are to add 1/8th teaspoon salt to your soaking liquid or to combine with yogurt. (Don’t forget to do this! If you do not follow these instructions, the enzymes in the raw oats will start to develop almost immediately and become very sharp in flavor.)
✨ Whether you’re chasing fitness goals or stable energy all day, ZEGO oats are here to help.
