VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“the Company”) (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW), an intellectual property (IP) focused AgTech company, announces that IP Australia, the intellectual property branch of the Australian government has granted the Company a standard patent for its high fiber, high protein, low carbohydrate flour. Patent number 2018215090, titled, “High fiber, high protein, low carbohydrate flour, sweetened liquid, sweeteners, cereals, and methods for production thereof,” was granted on April 4, 2024.

AgriFORCE Executive Turnaround Consultant Jolie Kahn commented, “We continue to expand our extensive intellectual property portfolio where we remain dedicated to providing novel and feasible solutions to key agricultural problems from sustainable, nutritious crop development to new financial solutions for farmers throughout the world. In the meantime, we are grateful for our ongoing relationship with IP Australia and look forward to continuing to grow our patent estate for the benefit of our stockholders.”

The Company is currently commercializing a first line of flours under the UN(Think) Awakened Flour Brand, which utilizes the technology. These wheat Whole Kernel flours are produced in the first phase of AgriFORCE’s patent-pending process. The process allows for a precise method to lightly germinate wheat by utilizing carefully monitored humidity and temperature to activate the product’s enzymes at the ideal time to maximize the nutritional elements of sprouted grains. Once milled, Awakened Grains are turned into Awakened Flour. Because the wheat isn’t sprouted completely in AgriFORCE’s proprietary process, it can be used not only in breads like sprouted wheat, but also in other products including pastas and pastries.
