About Big Sandy Organics

In 1976, Bob Quinn, having recently graduated with a PhD from the University of California, was munching on one of his favorite treats, Corn Nuts®, a snack made from large roasted kernels of corn. While perusing the snack's packaging, he remembered something from his early childhood. While attending a county fair he had been intrigued by a large variety of wheat advertised as King Tut’s Wheat. Fascinated by the idea that giant kernels of grain could have potential as a healthy snack, Bob decided to call the producers of Corn Nuts® and try to spark their interest. Which he did. Spurred by their interest, Bob began searching for the grain. After much effort, he located only one remaining jar in an old friend’s basement. A sample was taken from the jar and sent off to the company. After testing the grain, the producer’s response was, “This stuff is fantastic. Where can we get more?” The answer created a new problem. Their interest immediately dwindled when they learned the only remaining source of the grain was a one-pint jar. But that didn’t stop Bob. Knowing in his heart the grain had potential, he took that pint jar of wheat, planted it and kept planting and harvesting until he created a commercial market for it. As various markets opened up, many positive qualities about the grain were discovered. Some being its higher protein content, fabulous taste, favorable cooking qualities, and lower occurrence of issues for people with wheat sensitivities ?
