Barley: Rich in fiber, can help improve digestion and promote heart health. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals such as selenium and manganese.
Buckwheat: Not related to wheat and is gluten-free. It is high in protein, fiber, and antioxidants.
Farro: An ancient grain, rich in fiber, protein, and nutrients like magnesium and iron. Its texture is chewy with a nutty flavor.
Millet: Gluten-free and rich in nutrients such as magnesium and phosphorus. Millet is a versatile grain that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
Amaranth: High in protein and fiber. It is also a good source of iron, calcium, and magnesium. It has a nice nutty flavor and can be cooked similarly to rice or quinoa.
These healthy grains can be incorporated into your daily diet which can help to ensure that you get a diverse range of nutrients and promote overall health and well-being. However, check with your healthcare professional before adding to or changing your diet.
