🌍 This saying is often linked to Native American traditions, though its exact origins are unclear. The message, however, is universal: caring for the earth is caring for our children’s future. 💚
Every choice we make today—how we grow our food, what we put on our plates, and how we care for the land—shapes the world the next generation will inherit. 🌱
By supporting sustainable farming and choosing foods grown with integrity, we’re not just nourishing ourselves, we’re protecting the soil, the water, and the planet our children will call home. 🌾✨
Let’s keep working together to leave behind an earth that’s even healthier and more vibrant than the one we were given.

🌾 What is Purity Protocol?
And why does it matter if you’re gluten-free?
Oats are naturally gluten-free, of course, but they can easily get contaminated with wheat at every step — from farm to package:
🚜 Farming: Oats are often grown near or after wheat, leading to grain mix-ups in the field.
🏭 Processing: Many facilities use the same equipment for wheat and oats.
📦 Packaging: Oats may be packed alongside gluten-containing grains.
Unlike conventional oats, which rely on machines to try to sort out gluten-containing grains like wheat and barley, ZEGO oats are grown using a more rigorous and preventative approach called Purity Protocol, a patented farming method used to prevent gluten cross-contact in the field.
Here’s how it works ⬇️
🌱 Our partner farmers save seeds from the previous year’s crop, reducing unintended cross-contact
✅ Our oats are grown from a special variety that is significantly shorter than wheat and barley.
👀 As the plants grow (but before they form grains), farm workers hand-pull any taller sprouts — removing the risk of gluten grains from entering the harvest.
🧪 Then we test each batch down to 5 parts per million (ppm)
Our dedicated facility is free from gluten and the top allergens. No peanuts, no wheat, no dairy, no tree nuts, no soy, no milk, no eggs, no sesame, no sulfites, no celery, no corn, and no mustard. Our packaging has no corn derivatives.
💚 The result?
Some of the cleanest, safest oats you can buy — grown with care to nourish and protect your family.

🌾 Farm Visit Spotlight 🌾
Last month, Colleen and Cybele had the joy of visiting the Romsa Brothers Farm in Wyoming, as part of our mission with CIVC [Collaborative Integrated Value Chain]! Part of CIVC`s mission is to create a supply chain pull for millet, a highly nutritious grain that is used in organic and regenerative farming as a cover crop for other grains, like gluten-free oats! 🌱 As fellow oat lovers, we all benefit from more people eating millet!
Not only does millet help with weed control and support healthy soil, it’s also naturally gluten-free, rich in fiber and minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, and thrives with less water than many other grains. A win for both people and the planet. 💚
Have you ever tried millet? What did you think? Let us know in the comments below!

🌾💚 Celiac Disease Awareness Day | September 13
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten damages the small intestine, making it hard to absorb nutrients and leading to long-term health challenges. For the 3 million people in the U.S. living with celiac, strict gluten-free safety is non-negotiable.
That’s why at ZEGO, we go beyond. Our oats are grown using a purity protocol — meaning from seed to harvest to packaging, we work directly with our farmers to ensure the highest standards of safety. Then, a third-party lab tests for gluten, glyphosate, heavy metals, and 500+ toxins so you can trust every bite.
💡 Today and every day, we stand with the celiac community — advocating for transparency, safety, and food you can feel good about.
✨ Share this post to help raise awareness and spread the word: gluten-free isn’t a trend — it’s a necessity.

🌱 What does “Purity Verified” really mean? 🌱
On the front of every ZEGO package, you’ll see the words Purity Verified and a QR code. But what does that stand for - and why does it matter?
✅ Every ZEGO product is tested by a third-party lab for:
• Heavy metals
• Glyphosate
• 500+ other agricultural toxins & contaminants
✅ We then publish those results and make them easily accessible through the QR code on each package. That way, you don’t just have to trust us - you can see the proof for yourself.
Why is this important? Because you deserve complete transparency about what’s in your food. And because we believe that when more brands adopt Purity Verification, we can build a healthier food system and planet together. 🌍✨
📲 Next time you grab a ZEGO product, try scanning the QR code - your peace of mind is only a click away.

One of our customers put it best:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Really have been enjoying this protein powder, mixes well into shakes as well as baking. Really clean ingredients, highly recommend.”
The secret is simple: ZEGO Pure Protein = 100% sacha inchi seeds. Nothing else.
This unique seed naturally provides the most balanced amino acid profile of all plant proteins—better than pea, rice, soy, or hemp. The result? Clean, complete protein that fuels your body and blends seamlessly into anything from smoothies to baked goods.
