Brief Introduction
Turn ancient grains like quinoa, millet, teff, amaranth, basmati rice and wild rice, into everyday dining pleasures!Description
If you’re a whole foods lover who enjoys preparing rustic, gourmet meals, or you're simply ready to explore the creative world of whole grain cookery, you’ll marvel at the way you can turn ancient grains such as quinoa, millet, teff, amaranth, basmati rice, and wild rice, into delicious and hearty dining pleasures. Whole, organically raised grains, when prepared in the traditional way (as our ancestors prepared them) offer to be healthful additions to many diets. They're a great source of minerals, and their fiber benefits your intestinal health and fortitude. By eating more grains, and less meat, you'll also lighten your ecological footprint!
