History

The "Pancake Kings of San Francisco," Jack Harper (right) and Jason Jervis (left), enjoy a stack of pancakes.

Ingredients

Jack & Jason's mixes are produced using organic ingredients provided by local Bay Area companies. The company avoids the use of additives and preservatives (processed baking powder, hydrogenated oils, shortening, etc.) found in more common pancake mixes. As a result, Jack & Jason's mixes are low in fat, high in protein, and provide a full daily serving of dietary fiber from whole grain. ^[10]
