âš Spotlight on Superfoods: ZEGOâs Cinnamon & Spice Organic Oatmeal Blend âšâ
â
Ceylon cinnamon and allspice donât just bring cozy flavor to this blendâthey deliver real benefits. đż These antioxidant-rich spices may help soothe your gut and support steady blood sugar levels.â
â
Why does that matter? A diet high in antioxidants may reduce the risk of many diseases, including heart disease and certain cancers. Antioxidants work by scavenging free radicalsâunstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress and damage cells.â
â
The protective effects of antioxidants are still being studied globally, but one thingâs clear: real food ingredients like those in our blend are a smart and simple way to nourish your body every day.â

What Are Mycotoxinsâand Why Does ZEGO Test for Them?â
â
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain types of mold that can grow on food crops like oats, dried fruits, and spicesâespecially in warm, damp, or humid conditions. These molds can develop before or after harvest, and unfortunately, most mycotoxins are chemically stable, meaning they can survive food processing.â
â
At ZEGO, we take this risk seriously.â
â
đŸ We periodically test our oats for aflatoxin, one of the most well-known and concerning mycotoxins. While we donât test for every type of mycotoxin, aflatoxin serves as a proxyâif conditions arenât conducive to its growth, theyâre unlikely to support other types of mycotoxins either. This approach helps us ensure safety while keeping products affordable.â
â
đŸ Our oats are hulless, which are naturally lower in mycotoxins compared to hulled varieties.â
â
đŸ We also roll our oats, a process that helps reduce potential contamination even further.â
â
đŸ And we store our oats in cold, carefully controlled environments to prevent mold growth after harvest.â
â
We design every part of our supply chain with your health in mind. Because safe, clean food should be the standardânot the exception.â

âItâs time we realize that food is a form of healthcare.â â Dr. Mark Hymanâ
â
This quote really resonates with us.â
â
Food has the power to heal, to nourish, and to support our bodies in ways weâre still learning to fully appreciate. Whether youâre navigating celiac disease, food allergies, or simply trying to eat more mindfully, choosing safe, nourishing ingredients matters.â
â
This Celiac Awareness Monthâand every monthâweâre reminded that access to clean, trustworthy food isnât just a preference. Itâs a necessity.

đ„Łâïž Happy International Tea Day!â
Weâre steeping into something new â tea-infused oats! âšâ
â
We saw this idea floating around the internet and had to try it!â We made our Cinnamon & Spice Organic Superfood Oatmeal Blend by cooking it with oat milk steeped in blackberry spice tea instead of plain water. The result? A cozy, aromatic bowl with layers of flavor. đđżâ
â
Hereâs how to do it:â
1ïžâŁ For 2 servings, steep 2 tea bags in your milk or waterâ
2ïžâŁ Use the infused liquid to cook your ZEGO oats (or pour it over for overnight oats!)â
3ïžâŁ Add your favorite toppings and enjoyâ
â
Want to experiment? Try it with:â
đ” Chaiâ
đ± Peppermintâ
đ Earl Greyâ

đŸ What is Purity Protocol?â
And why does it matter if youâre gluten-free?â
â
Oats are naturally gluten-free, of course, but they can easily get contaminated with wheat at every step â from farm to package:â
â
đ Farming: Oats are often grown near or after wheat, leading to grain mix-ups in the field.â
đ Processing: Many facilities use the same equipment for wheat and oats.â
đŠ Packaging: Oats may be packed alongside gluten-containing grains.â
â
Unlike conventional oats, which rely on machines to try to sort out gluten-containing grains like wheat and barley, ZEGO oats are grown using a more rigorous and preventative approach called Purity Protocol, a patented farming method used to prevent gluten cross-contact in the field.â â
â
Hereâs how it works âŹïžâ
đ± Our partner farmers save seeds from the previous yearâs crop, reducing unintended cross-contactâ
â
Our oats are grown from a special variety that is significantly shorter than wheat and barley.â
đ As the plants grow (but before they form grains), farm workers hand-pull any taller sprouts â removing the risk of gluten grains from entering the harvest.â
đ§Ș Then we test each batch down to 5 parts per million (ppm)â
â
Our dedicated facility is free from gluten and the top allergens. No peanuts, no wheat, no dairy, no tree nuts, no soy, no milk, no eggs, no sesame, no sulfites, no celery, no corn, and no mustard. Our packaging has no corn derivatives. â
â
đ The result?â
Some of the cleanest, safest oats you can buy â grown with care to nourish and protect your family.â
â
đ Curious about our testing? Just scan the QR code on any ZEGO package or visit our website to see your oatsâ results. Have questions? Drop them in the comments below or send us a DM! â
