Ancient grains going 'hot' in the whole foods basket
Doubtless that whole food diet has occupied the dinner tables of passive urban consumer, but they are quite uncompromising in choosing the right combination of diet for a complete nutritional profile.
This exactly is emphasized by an article in Forbes. It focuses on the ancient food grains like amaranth and quinoa, which have become the look-out of a modern diet.
This corresponds to the fact that Aztecs and Andeans used to consume amaranth and quinoa more than wheat as it contained more iron and protein than the latter. Today the possibilities are endless for consumers from gluten-free diets to salads, from sandwiches to porridges.
Though the American palate has given dominion to wheat for more fiber, they now mix and match wheat with unfamiliar grains for more nutritional intake. What remains is formulation of interesting products from the unfamiliar grains so that their flavor becomes more familiar for the modern consumers to pass beyond corn, wheat and oats.
