Tasty Traditions: Investing in Small-scale Mexican Corn Farmers to Preserve Heirloom Corn Varieties Not Contaminated with GMOs
Last week as we launched the Tasty Traditions brand we presented options to investors to invest in a new line of Tasty Traditions products with bakery products produced with our ancient grains that test free of glyphosate, something that is very rare in the North American market, and took us years to develop. Today, we are introducing our second product line under the new Tasty Traditions label: GMO-Tested and Glyphosate-Tested Mexican heirloom corn! This is one of the few consumer products that we actually produce and sell, as we use this amazing corn to make our very popular corn tortilla chips fried in our own Tropical Traditions coconut oil. We have spent literally years trying to source corn in the U.S. that is NOT contaminated with GMO DNA, and to this date have never found a source. We have even pulled corn products off the shelves of grocery stores that were labeled organic and had some kind of "Non-GMO" claim, but they all tested positive for GMO DNA. So we expanded our search into Mexico, in provinces within Mexico that had banned GMO corn from the U.S. This has been a huge political battleground between Mexico and the U.S. for decades now, as Mexico is the birthplace of corn (maize), and many of their traditional heirloom varieties are being lost to American GMO corn seeds cross pollinating and contaminating their native varieties. We believe our tortilla corn chips are unmatched in the U.S. market! This current investment opportunity with our GMO-tested heirloom corn will increase the production of Mexican families growing this corn, giving them a fair value in their own country with no need to move to the U.S. Our suppliers have said they can increase their production this next growing season, so we are looking for investors today to secure a larger supply for 2026.
