Multigrain isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about products that stand the test of time. Curious about multigrain possibilities? Contact us! #DakotaMB #Multigrain #BakeryInnovation #ProductDevelopment

I’m not flavor. I’m not aroma. But without me, a great bake falls flat. What am I? Texture. That’s where flaked grains come in. They add visual appeal on the surface, layered bite in the crumb and a simple way to differentiate baked goods like donuts, breads and rolls. At DakotaMB, we help developers find the right grains and blends to bring that extra character to their bakes. Let’s talk grain functionality. #DakotaMB #BakeryInnovation #ProductDevelopment #GrainInnovation

One grain = good. Multigrain = better. The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines emphasized the importance of consuming more whole grains, reducing refined grains and focusing on greater nutrient density. Multigrain blends fit perfectly within this framework. By combining traditional and specialty grains, developers can meet fiber goals, enhance nutritional messaging and ensure strong sensory performance—all in a single formulation. Let’s create yours.

Who let the dogs out? 🐾 Developers did, with better grain performance. In pet food, expansion, binding and nutrient delivery are not “nice to have.” They are non-negotiable. Backed by decades of whole grain expertise, we help formulators build products that perform just as good as they look on the label.
