Why Grindstone

The Foods You Love. Reinvented.

We take the familiar foods people already love and rethink them with thoughtful ingredients, our own approach to rice milling, and a commitment to making great food right here in London, Ontario.

Familiar food. Made differently.

We start with foods people already know and love, then rethink how they’re made—from the ingredients we choose to the way we mill and blend our rice.

The result is a growing family of everyday favourites designed to be simple, versatile and delicious.

Why we’re different.

From how we mill our rice to where we make our products, we take a hands-on approach to the food we create.

01

We Mill Our Own Rice

Rice is milled and granulated in-house, giving us greater control over texture, consistency and quality.

02

Made in London, Ontario

Our foods are made in London, Ontario, Canada, with milling, blending and production under one roof.

03

Thoughtful Ingredients

We focus on thoughtfully selected ingredients and 100% natural seasonings to create familiar flavours people love.

04

Gluten-Free Manufacturing

Our dedicated production environment is designed for gluten-free production, with product-specific ingredients and dietary details clearly identified on each product.

Our process

We don’t just blend rice. We mill it ourselves.

Grindstone does not simply purchase pre-milled rice flour. We mill and granulate our rice in-house.

This hands-on approach lets us fine-tune texture and consistency from the start—and helps create the creamy texture that defines Grindstone hot rice cereal.

Signature ingredient

Why black rice?

Historically known as forbidden rice, black rice is an ancient whole grain recognized for its naturally deep purple colour when cooked.

Grindstone blends black and white rice to create its signature purple rice, bringing an ancient grain into a familiar modern food experience.
