Mushrooms are what they eat.
So to speak. Mushrooms absorb vitamins, minerals and any nutrient from plants, soil and wherever they grow.
Mushrooms are a superfood
because of their impressive nutrient package, including beta glucan, protein, potassium, copper and iron. In fact, for centuries, many cultures have been using various types of mushrooms to support various health benefits.
Those are just a few reasons we are fascinated with funghi.
We created Millie Gram on the belief that snacking can be a simple, delicious way to treat ourselves with care.
We couldn’t settle for just an average snack.
The ingredients needed to be rooted in well-being. And delicious. That’s when we found the opportunity to use our passion for mushrooms.
Did you know there are more than 10,000 known mushroom species in the world?
And mycologists say that’s probably only a fraction.
We deliberately chose five types of mushrooms for Millie Gram Nut Butters for taste, texture and nutrition attributes. The mushrooms we use are grown in California on organic oats sourced from Canada.
Lion's Mane
Large, white mushrooms that look like a lion's mane

Cordyceps

There's so much more to learn and explore. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
