The GoodWheat™ portfolio of good-for-you wheats includes attributes such as higher fiber, fewer calories and reduced allergenicity, as well as extended shelf life.

We see tremendous potential in Arcadia's portfolio of specialty wheats to help us meet these trends." The European milling industry produces 35 million tons of flour on an annual basis with a turnover of €15 billion. Wheat contributes about 20 percent of the total dietary calories and proteins worldwide, according to a 2013 paper published in Food Security. About Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.
