The Essence of Ancient Grains
What Are Ancient Grains?
Ancient grains, compared to their more widely commercialised modern counterparts, are varieties that date back to the period before the Green Revolution (around the 1960s) and belong to evolutionary populations.
They are valued for their ability to grow in less fertile soils and without the use of pesticides, while preserving their genetic and nutritional integrity.

Health Benefits
Ancient grains are nutritionally superior to modern grains in several respects. They are rich in fibre, protein, antioxidants, and minerals such as magnesium and iron.
They help improve digestion, reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, and support heart health.
