Back to the Roots’ cereals – which come in four flavours and are made with four or less identity-preserved ingredients and 100% stoneground whole grains – are distributed in retailers such as Whole Foods Market across the country, as well as in the New York City Public School System, feeding 1.1m children each day. 

Nikhil Arora, co-founder and co-CEO of Back to the Roots, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Nature’s Path – they are pioneers in the organic food movement and incredible visionaries who have been working tirelessly to build a better food system for over 30 years.”

Back to the Roots will continue to independently operate its line of indoor gardening kits which are aimed at getting people to produce organic mushrooms, herbs and other vegetables at home.
