🌾 Farm Visit Spotlight 🌾
Last month, Colleen and Cybele had the joy of visiting the Romsa Brothers Farm in Wyoming, as part of our mission with CIVC [Collaborative Integrated Value Chain]! Part of CIVC`s mission is to create a supply chain pull for millet, a highly nutritious grain that is used in organic and regenerative farming as a cover crop for other grains, like gluten-free oats! 🌱 As fellow oat lovers, we all benefit from more people eating millet!
Not only does millet help with weed control and support healthy soil, it’s also naturally gluten-free, rich in fiber and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, and thrives with less water than many other grains. A win for both people and the planet. 💚
Have you ever tried millet? What did you think? Let us know in the comments below!

🌾💚 Celiac Disease Awareness Day | September 13
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten damages the small intestine, making it hard to absorb nutrients and leading to long-term health challenges. For the 3 million people in the U.S. living with celiac, strict gluten-free safety is non-negotiable.
That’s why at ZEGO, we go beyond. Our oats are grown using a purity protocol — meaning from seed to harvest to packaging, we work directly with our farmers to ensure the highest standards of safety. Then, a third-party lab tests for gluten, glyphosate, heavy metals, and 500+ toxins so you can trust every bite.
💡 Today and every day, we stand with the celiac community — advocating for transparency, safety, and food you can feel good about.
✨ Share this post to help raise awareness and spread the word: gluten-free isn’t a trend — it’s a necessity.

🌱 What does “Purity Verified” really mean? 🌱
On the front of every ZEGO package, you’ll see the words Purity Verified and a QR code. But what does that stand for – and why does it matter?
✅ Every ZEGO product is tested by a third-party lab for:
• Heavy metals
• Glyphosate
• 500+ other agricultural toxins & contaminants
✅ We then publish those results and make them easily accessible through the QR code on each package. That way, you don’t just have to trust us – you can see the proof for yourself.
Why is this important? Because you deserve complete transparency about what’s in your food. And because we believe that when more brands adopt Purity Verification, we can build a healthier food system and planet together. 🌍✨
📲 Next time you grab a ZEGO product, try scanning the QR code – your peace of mind is only a click away.

🌱 It’s Organic Month! 🌱
At ZEGO, organic isn’t just a label — it’s part of our commitment to your health and the planet.

📌 How is Organic Food Grown?
Organic farming nurtures the soil, protects pollinators, and supports biodiversity.
📌 Why Organic Matters
For your health: fewer chemicals, more natural nutrients, and peace of mind.
For the planet: healthier soils, cleaner water, and less environmental impact.
✨ With ZEGO, every product is not only organic but also Purity Verified — we test for glyphosate, heavy metals, and 500+ toxins so you can trust what’s on your table.
Let’s celebrate Organic Month together — because food should be good for you and the earth. 🌎💚

One of our customers put it best:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Really have been enjoying this protein powder, mixes well into shakes as well as baking. Really clean ingredients, highly recommend.”
The secret is simple: ZEGO Pure Protein = 100% sacha inchi seeds. Nothing else.
This unique seed naturally provides the most balanced amino acid profile of all plant proteins—better than pea, rice, soy, or hemp. The result? Clean, complete protein that fuels your body and blends seamlessly into anything from smoothies to baked goods.

🌱 Why Farming Practices Matter
At ZEGO, we believe how your food is grown is just as important as what’s in it. As our founder Colleen Kavanagh says:
“Consumers need to be able to see the metrics for why farming practices make a difference in the health of their food.”
That’s why we work with farmers who follow regenerative and purity protocol practices. Regenerative farming focuses on building healthy, living soil—rich with organic matter, microbes, and nutrients—so it can grow crops naturally higher in nutrition. Healthy soil also captures carbon, reduces erosion, and supports biodiversity, helping heal the planet while nourishing your body.
And because transparency is key, every ZEGO package has a QR code so you can see our third-party lab test results for heavy metals, allergens, pesticides, and more.
When you know the story of your food, you can choose options that are better for your health, the soil, and our shared future. 🌾💚

Fiber: The Unsung Hero of Everyday Wellness 🌾💪
Sure, fiber helps with digestion—but that’s just the beginning. This mighty nutrient does a whole lot more for your body than you might think.
✨ What makes fiber so powerful?
🥣 Nourishes your gut with prebiotics to support a healthy microbiome
❤️ Supports heart health by helping manage cholesterol
⚡ Helps you stay satisfied longer and supports steady energy
🧠 Oat B-glucan fiber is linked to improved immune, brain, and gut health—yes, really!
💫 May even support healthy aging and longevity
And guess what? Just one serving of our Organic Cinnamon Twist Muesli packs 5g of fiber—that’s 17% of your daily needs in one delicious bowl.
💡 How to enjoy it:
🔥 As a warm, cozy oatmeal
😋 Soaked overnight with your favorite milk
🥄 Crunchy cold cereal with fruit on top
🍪 Baked into cookies, muffins, or fiber-boosted protein bites
And with Purity Verified testing for over 500 toxins, you can trust that every bite is clean and safe.
