Meet us
From the marketing folks to the product development gurus to the sales crew, everyone at Kashi is on the same mission: make healthy foods that taste great.
Kashi Company was created in the small town of La Jolla, California, in 1984 by Phil and Gayle Tauber, a couple who were looking for a nutritionally balanced breakfast that would satisfy the dietary needs of their health-conscious lifestyle.
They developed a unique recipe using seven different whole grains and sesame - each of the grains was individually selected for its nutritional benefits. What they came up with is our signature cereal, 7 Whole Grain Pilaf, which is made up of buckwheat, triticale, rye, hard red winter wheat, barley, oats, long grain brown rice, and sesame seeds.
In 2000, Kellogg Company was looking to expand its brand portfolio to include a leading natural brand focused on positive nutrition. They purchased Kashi from the original owners and Kashi has continued to operate independently following the original business philosophy of providing great tasting, all natural seven whole grain foods to help you live your best life.
Kashi consumers have benefited through greater availability of our products due to Kellogg Company's nationwide distribution centers which allow us to bring Kashi products into more of your local stores. Our mission to be health pioneers remains as true today as it was 25 years ago. Every day we continue to work towards our dream of a world where everyone embraces natural health.
