Looking to expand your whole grain options beyond brown rice? Think old. These ancient grains \u2013 some first cultivated millennia ago \u2013 have lots to offer your taste buds and your health.<\/p>\n

Amaranth<\/strong>
\nThe Aztecs revered this hardy plant, which is high in protein and calcium. It has crunch, and a mild nutty taste, so using it as a crisp coating for baked chicken or fish is a tasty option.\u00a0 It\u2019s the star in Mindful\u2019s Cauliflower and Amaranth Risotto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Freekeh<\/strong>
\nIts name sounds far-out, but freekeh is actually just wheat harvested while it\u2019s still green.
\nIts nutty taste livens up a salad, like the new Mindful Freekeh and Raspberry Salad.<\/p>\n

Quinoa<\/strong>
\nQuick-cooking and gluten-free, this protein powerhouse is wonderful as a side dish, in soups, or cold in salad. We\u2019re even using it in a batch of Mindful Red Quinoa Pancakes.<\/p>\n

Sorghum<\/strong>
\nA staple in Africa for hundreds of years, sorghum\u2019s edible outer hull retains more nutrients than grains that must be hulled. Sorghum flour has a sweet taste that\u2019s just right for gluten-free baking.<\/p>\n

Millet<\/strong>
\nHigh in magnesium, which is important for muscle repair and nerve function, it has a mild, corn-like taste and can be \u201cpopped\u201d in a dry frying pan for a crunchy snack.<\/p>\n

Farro<\/strong>
\nThis savuory grain originated in ancient Mesopotamia and is loaded with fibre, protein, and minerals. It\u2019s delicious in Mindful\u2019s Chickpea and Farro Stew with Spinach.<\/p>\n

Teff<\/strong>
\nEthiopians have used this tiny grain for centuries to make traditional injera bread. It\u2019s high in calcium and makes for a hearty breakfast bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
