Responsibility in food production

BlackGrain utilises oil seed expeller which is a by-product of oil pressing to create a nutritional ingredient ideal for human consumption. This cuts down on waste, reduces food chain length, and contributes to responsible food production. We are located in Finland, the northernmost place for farming in the world. We follow high food safety standards in our agricultural practices, and we have access to clean water.

At Apetit, we ensure that we buy high quality seeds, comply with plant protecting agent laws and don’t use GMO.
