Move over brown rice, the new good-for-you-grains are actually ancient! Ever hear of “kamut,” “freekeh” or “farro?” Or maybe you’ve heard of quinoa, a quick-cooking seed that’s popular among those on gluten-free and vegetarian diets? Did you know that quinoa originates from South America (in the Andean region) and was referred to as sacred and the ‘mother of all grains,’ by the Incas?
Most notably, these ancient grains are revered for their great nutritional benefits. Quinoa is particularly high in protein and also contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans.
