About Ancient grains
Ancient grains are a diverse group of nutrient-rich whole grains that have remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. Common varieties include quinoa, farro, millet, teff, amaranth, and spelt, originating from regions like South America, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Packed with essential nutrients, they are rich in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, supporting digestion, energy levels, and overall health. Many ancient grains are gluten-free, making them a versatile option for people with sensitivities or celiac disease. Their complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy, while antioxidants and phytochemicals offer additional health benefits. Often featured in salads, hearty soups, breads, and bowls, they have a nutty flavor and satisfying texture. While generally healthy, they are calorie-dense, so portion control is key for balanced diets. Ancient grains are a flavorful way to diversify your plate and support a wholesome, nutrient-packed diet.
