About Us: Golden Basin Family of Companies

Our Technology and Patents Our technology is patented (in nine separate patents) in China with international patents in process. It took seven years to develop the process which calls for quality-managed, efficient and cost-sensitive high tech production.
Our primary product is bamboo extract, trade-marked as BamBOOM!™ as well as our pre-infused rice under the same name. We infuse any species of milled rice per customers’ requirements. Our competitively priced, unique extract is also available for (business-to-business) institutional consumption. Both approaches maintain the high quality, nutritional impact and delightful, fresh flavor. Our extract and infused rice have been test marketed in Hong Kong in gourmet hotel kitchens where it remained in demand throughout the year long test – best appreciated for its aroma, taste and appearance as a center-of-the-plate companion as well as for sushi and other Asian rice dishes. It has also been tested successfully in the USA. Market tests consistently reveal an interesting reaction to the cooking and cooked product – “delightful, fresh aroma, like walking through a bamboo forest”.
	GB is currently continuing biomedical studies to measure our products’ effects on flu, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, reduction of mercury, lead and other heavy metal toxicity, and as a solution to iron deficiency in Hawaii and China.

Our marketplace:

— The gourmet consumer seeking a new companion for a variety of cuisines.

— The food maker interested in inhibiting toxins during high heat preparation and enhancing shelf life of protein.

— Education and military institutions who want to ensure that their constituents, children and soldiers (respectively), are fueled for learning and high performance. Currently both institutional consumers are challenged to provide cost effective means to boost energy, frontal lobe activity, and behavioral excellence.

— Disaster ridden communities and those living in nutritional poverty around the world: for this market we are committed to a philanthropic approach with profit from are other market segments fueling distribution to the hungry children of the world.

Bamboo Culture: Hundreds of millions of shoots and not one leaf or stem. . .

	Although the world has been consuming bamboo shoots for centuries, in hundreds of millions of tons, the rest of the plant has gone into the hands of craftsmen and builders. At the same time that functional foods (power drinks in the supermarket, nutrition bars, etc.) were emerging into mainstream in the West, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) extensively researched the edible value of Bamboo beyond shoots. At first sniff of that research, a young visionary of 22 years old (over seven years time) created and patented a range of bamboo nutritional products -- the food on which he was raised in a farming village in central China -- a place where elders plowed fields daily who were well into their octogenarian years -- a place where centenarians say "It’s the bamboo. The more we consume, the healthier we get, the longer we live."
The PRC Health Bureau (an equivalent of the U.S.F.D.A. released official reports applauding the nutritional impact of Bamboo. Bamboo nutrition offers: a complete source of amino acids (necessary for the body to process protein), a variety of water soluble minerals, such as zinc, iron, calcium, selenium, iodine, magnesium, (that are in a balance that is beneficial to human beings and in other food sources). Plentiful vitamins such as C, B1, B2, B6, B12, E1 A1, niacin, and folic acid. Protein, Soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Chlorophyll, sacharoids, and anti-oxidant rich flavonoids. And, isothiocyanates which have been shown to stop carcinogens dead in their tracks. The Bureau’s researchers report that bamboo nutrition impacts the lowering of cholesterol and blood lipids, detoxification of the colon, heart disease diffusers, and the essential delivery of micronutrients that preclude retardation.
	The Rockefeller Foundation spent USD60M inventing "golden rice" to provide a micro-nutrient rich staple. When extended to the suffering nations, the nations said "no thanks -- we don't want genetically modified foods". Our products which provide the same micro-nutrients as Golden Rice, are pure, natural, and organic -- with small cost incursion).

GBI focuses on producing and marketing Bamboo extract BamBOOM!™ with which we infuse rice so that a great tasting, simple cooking staple is available to the functional food consuming market globally. We also use the extract to produce BamBOOST™ our exciting venture into all natural, high impact energy drinks. We envision being part of the global food processing network with a broad range of partners”:

_ rice wholesalers

_ food producers/sellers of noodles/mochi/other grains

_ NGOs for the distribution of our donation of product to the world’s under nourished.

_ research centers, such as International Bamboo Institute with whom we already have a relationship on the reality of bamboo-based food.

_ funders such as development banks and socially responsible venture funds.

We see GB as a firm with a small environmental foot print. The firm strives to be environmentally responsible. We utilize the waste from the extraction process to produce fertilizer and insect repellent. Recent Japanese and Chinese agriculture research reports 40 - 60% increased plant growth when using bamboo charcoal as fertilizer.

To these extents we are committed to stewarding a bamboo forest in China (800 meters above sea level in a pollution-minimal area, in mineral rich soil; the species has no cyanide -- like some other bamboo species -- and it grows a meter/week). The bamboo replicates itself quickly and thus makes for a fully sustainable source. To every extent possible, we package our products using bamboo fibre from a strategic packaging ally. In the pipeline is a partnership with a beer brewer to market BamBOOM!™ Health Drink -- the more you drink the healthier you get. We hold the patent on the BamBOOM!™ Beer and are in the process of international patenting.
