What Gerbs carries in grains
The Gerbs grain line includes white and brown rice, ancient grains (quinoa, millet, amaranth, and others), and oats. Each is processed on dedicated 14-Free equipment and carries no allergen from shared lines. Check individual subcategory pages for the full selection of each type.
How to store whole grains
Store whole grains in sealed containers in a cool, dry place. White rice keeps almost indefinitely when properly sealed. Brown rice, oats, and grains with more intact bran (like quinoa) have more fat and oxidize faster: refrigerating or freezing after opening extends freshness to several months or more.

What is the difference between whole grain and refined grain?
Whole grain retains the bran, germ, and endosperm of the original grain. Refined grain has had the bran and germ removed, which changes the texture and nutritional profile but extends shelf life. Gerbs carries both whole and refined varieties depending on the product.
How do I cook quinoa?
Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. Combine one part quinoa with two parts water or broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for five minutes, then fluff with a fork.
