Back to the Basics

A deep dive on what makes Wild Thing cookies…well, wild.

First up, the heritage grains we use to preserve the environmental and culinary diversity lost in modern industrial farming.

Each cookie is developed with the unique properties of the grain in mind, so you get extra flavor, texture, and nutrition with every bite!

The Grain Story


Before there was commodity flour, there were thousands of grain varieties — each with its own flavor, character, and place in the ecosystem. We work with small mills to bring them back, one cookie at a time.

Buckwheat

Technically a seed, not a grain — but undeniably bold. Buckwheat brings an earthy, almost floral depth that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate. Naturally gluten-free and rich in minerals.

Rye

Dark, complex, and wonderfully tangy. Rye has been a European staple for centuries and adds a subtle sourness and chewy crumb that modern wheat simply can't match.

Einkorn

One of the world's oldest cultivated wheats, einkorn is nutty and golden-hued with a higher protein content than modern wheat. It lends a rich, almost buttery flavor with every bite.

Spelt

A distant cousin of modern wheat, spelt has a delicate, slightly sweet profile with a lighter texture. It plays well with warm spices and gives our shortbreads their signature tenderness.
