Ancient grains are grains that have been around for centuries and have maintained their original form. Examples of ancient grains include amaranth, quinoa, millet, spelt, teff, and farro. They tend to be higher in nutrition than traditional grains, providing a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as higher levels of fiber and protein. Non-ancient grains (such as wheat, oats, and corn) have been hybridized or modified over time to make them more hardy and adaptable to a wider range of climates. They are still considered whole grains, but they are not quite as nutritious as ancient grains.
