AgriFORCE Granted Patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office Related to its Proprietary Methods for Processing Nutritious Foods Under the UN(THINK)™ Foods Brand

VANCOUVER, Jan. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“the Company") (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property (IP)-focused AgTech company dedicated to advancing sustainable cultivation and crop processing across multiple platforms, today announced that it was granted a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) related to its proprietary method of naturally modifying and processing grains, rice, seeds and pulses into low-starch, high-protein, fiber-rich baking flour products, as well as a wide range of breakfast cereals, juices, natural sweeteners and baking enhancers. These unique processes and methods were acquired through the Manna Nutritional Group acquisition completed in May 2022.

The IP encompasses technologies designed to unlock nutritional properties, flavor and other qualities in a range of modern, ancient and heritage grains, seeds and pulses – creating specialized all-natural baking and all-purpose flours, sweeteners, juices, naturally sweet cereals and other valuable products, providing numerous opportunities for dietary, nutritional, performance and culinary applications.

Ingo Mueller, CEO of AgriFORCE, stated, “This patent constitutes a key milestone in our strategy to scale up and launch our revolutionary UN(THINK)™ foods brand. Our goal is to redefine the natural fiber content of grains to provide healthy alternatives without compromising taste, texture, or quality. This patent comes at an inflection point as we are launching our new branded product, UN(THINK)™ Awakened Flour this quarter. We believe this IP provides an opportunity to transform the landscape of food production across a variety of categories, including flours, pastries, breads, snack products, as well as dairy alternatives, high-performance drinks, breakfast cereals, nutrition and performance bars. Our technology process represents an evolution around global consumption, as consumers transition from products with empty calories into tastier, more nutritious, easier-to-digest products. As a result, we intend to capture a portion of the flour and bakery market, representing a $200 billion dollar industry in the U.S alone. We are proud to build upon our robust IP portfolio and expect to announce additional developments related to the UN(THINK)™ brand in the coming months.”
